My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it's like for others here on the fediverse.

Yup. I'd say the Canadian flag isn't super common but isn't out of the ordinary. I also don't see people waving the flag and think the person must be some extremist nut job. Those ones are waving around "F*ck Trudeau" flags.

You must not be from out west. People here have flags on their cars (trucks actually mostly) and those people are Convoy idiots exclusively. And there are a lot of them. I don't go a day without seeing at least one

I see confederate loser flags on trucks and shitty vehicles a fair bit in Alberta. Lots of fuck Trudeau flags, because western alienation is stronger than ever.
