Red Ensign #16 at The Phantom Observer
The Phantom Observer has raised the Red Ensign Standard today.There is such a thing as a Canadian vision. We had it, years ago in the era of St. Laurent and Diefenbaker and Pearson ......
when our flag was not a Maple Leaf, but a Union Jack with a Coat of Arms.
When we looked on America as a senior partner and not a rabid elephant. When we could persuade the world that we could keep the peace, and they believed us.
In the past thirty years, we lost that vision, mired in little arguments about provincial power, spending money, and social rights. Politicians left and right caused the people to lose faith in them ... and thus the vision faded.
Spot on PO, spot on.
