Good Morning #Canada
Today your reading sensibilities are collateral damage from my YouTube meandering. You're welcome.
Did you know that #Vexillology refers to the study of flags? I learned that today. Well today we can all be amateur vexillologists as we critique the design of our Canadian and Provincial flags, aided by a cartoon character who sounds smarter than me. Today I also learned that two of the worst flags in this group, for Ontario and Manitoba, are relatively new designs that can't be blamed on distant historical vexillographers. Yes, I am overusing my new word.
Here is a decent grading of flags from the Provinces and Territories.

When driving between Featherston and Greytown you can see a line of three flagpoles in the distance, all flying the old New Zealand flag.

I was amused to note my instant assumption wasn't "What a patriotic NZer!" but "I wonder if they moved here from the USA?" #FlagWaving

Brazilian Flag has been massively coopted by the local NeoFascist movement, as seen by this street manifestation in São Paulo.

Social media has active agencies agitating to support the controversial (idiotic) President too. Like USA?
