Do you have a flag?

Photo from FreeFoto.com
When I was in hospitality I had a client who just got back from a vacation to Canada.  This was the conversation that took place.

Nubian:  Ms. Corporate Exec how nice to see you again.  How was your vacation to Canada?

Ms. Corporate Exec:  It was wonderful and guess what?  You'll never believe this.  It is so adorable.  They even have their own flag.

Nubian:  *blink* *blink blink* *blink*

Every time I watch this video I am reminded of that conversation.

    I can't even comment on the unbelievable ignorance (and American chauvinism). I LOVE the video!

    I love Canada's flag. And the fact that when I visited there at 19 it was legal to hang out at the bar!

    Well, you know what they say, "No Flag, No country!"

    Sometimes people exist just to make us thankful for what we have.

    I did some checking and yes, we in T&T do apparently have a flag as well. No sign of a cool video like that so far.

    Can't win 'em all, I guess.

    That's a flag they fly? Ohhhhhh. I just thought they were really into maple trees. I'm still humming the song, though.

    Huge fan of Dress to Kill! I saw Sexie, but it just wasn't the same as his older stuff.

    Those Canadians. Always trying to take credit for the damn zipper. Everyone knows they're just trying to deflect the whole Celine Dion fiasco.
