A late Canada Day celebration

This is a bit late but just so my Canadian friends know that I thought of them on July 1, here is a photo of our Canadian flag about to be hoisted to the top of our flag pole. I really like the maple leaf on the flag.
There was no breeze at all so I had to hold the ends so that the maple leaf is displayed. I wasn’t fussed about being in the photo but - I did it for Canada!! I hope you all had a marvellous day.

We have quite a few Canadians on here now. Americans are probably still in the majority but other countries are catching up a little. At least I would say so although Switzerland and Australia are dragging their fee, don't you think?

@JudyEv now that I think about it... Flags displayed on or around people's homes in this area (and most of the USA) are usually displayed banner-style or on a very short pole attached to a front porch.
Actual flagpoles are much more common in Canada. I wonder if it's a British Commonwealth thing...

@SophiaMorros I guess flagpoles are harder to put up and more expensive.

You flew Canada's flag at your home in Australia? Pretty interesting! You know, our country's birthday is coming up in a few days (4 July), will you host the Americn flag as well? haha
I saw a lot of people around here celebrating Canada Day. But then again, we do have a lot of Canadians living here in Florida!

@JudyEv You'll be proud to know that I used to have an Australian flag when I was a college student. I used to fly it all the time. Back then, my dream was to move to Australia and live there permanently; however, your immigration laws made my plans a little more difficult than I had expected.

@moffittjc I think our laws make immigration a little more difficult than they expect for a lot of people.

We happened to have a Canadian friend. Vince and I both have Canadian friends; Vince on FB photo sites and me on myLot so we thought we'd fly the flag.

Vince has Canadian friends on some photo sites so we thought it would be nice seeing that we had a flag.

We had a Canadian group lined up to play at the Music Shack so we thought we'd buy a Canadian flag. We might have pegged it on the back wall as part of the decoration. I can't remember now and the relevant photos are on Vince's computer and hard to access.
