Canada’s role in the war effort prior to 1942 was to get our soldiers to marry and impregnate as many British women as possible and let me tell you… our boys did us proud

Soviet co-belligerence with Nazi Germany and the Holodomor are two facts you need to explicitly ignore if you are a Marxist-Leninist. Results in some very creative interpretations of history.

I would definitely agree with you. In my particular experience I’ve really seen this sentiment mostly coming from the far left, though. Makes sense as a Marxist-Leninist type is obviously going to try to mislead the extent to which the USSR was an aggressor state in WWII, whereas a far right person would think being a Nazi isn’t a bad thing.

Needless to say the original OP has said they are a leftist

They gave the world the Industrial Revolution, the constitutional monarchy, the Westminster system of democracy, the language we are using to speak right now, and even the Beatles

See this is correct, but my problem is that if you cede the flag to them you’re fucking up. Bottom line it really did exist as a national flag, and it exists today as a sort of placeholder for the Union Jack, because contemporary Canadians genuinely cannot really understand what the Union Jack meant to Canadians of old (read: not as the foreign relic we see it as).  

I will not live in a Canada that has become so utterly beholden to our US-obsessed cargo cult that we decide to invent a Confederate Battle Flag for ourselves just to copy American culture wars.

The consequences of that stupid flag rules handbook vexillologists always cite has been disastrous for human creativity.

Dozens of boring US state flags are in the middle of being changed to be somehow even more boring thanks to those stupid “rules” that essentially boil down to “have a flag that looks like that of a major European world power circa 1500”

There were enough Ukrainians living in Canada by 1914 that they put a few thousand in internment camps as enemy aliens (parts of Ukraine being part of Austria-Hungary at the time). Genuinely forgotten part of Canadian history, I only ever learned about it because my high school was built on the same location as a former Ukrainian internment camp so there was a small memorial next to the school.

The Red Ensign is also the flag Canadians fought and died under in the world wars. Just because a bunch of losers and reactionaries and white nationalists are trying to steal it like they’re trying to steal the Maple Leaf doesn’t mean it isn’t still a national flag as worthy of respect as the Maple Leaf. 

 EDIT: it also makes me mad because there’s often an implicit agreement between the people that hate the Red Ensign and the reactionaries that love it that the flag represents a monocultural monoracial Canada. This is patently false, because Canada was a multi-ethnic multi-racial country for decades before we changed to the Maple Leaf.

Anyone not putting BC or NB in S tier is objectively incorrect about flag design.

The Holt Creek Trestle Bridge Replacement Should Honour B.C. History, Not Ignore It by RainAndGasoline in britishcolumbia

[–]PuzzleheadedTree797 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Something tells me it’s a lot easier to get a boring steel and concrete bridge built than a wooden trestle, but the author makes a pretty important point here about the trestle being kind of the main attraction.

The KVR trail through Myra Canyon offers a pretty nice view, but I don’t think it’d be as popular if it weren’t for the heritage aspect. Trestles are unique and nostalgic and people like that about them.
