On February 15, 2025, Canadians marked the 60th anniversary of their national flag, ignited by U.S. President Trump's disparaging comments about tariffs and statehood. This defiant display of patriotism was evident as citizens unfurled flags across vehicles and homes, with notable sales at flag outlets. Prime Minister Trudeau urged citizens to embrace national pride, joined by five former prime ministers advocating for unity. Canadians, expressing both shock and resolve over Trump's rhetoric, highlighted their historical ties and reaffirmed their commitment to Canadian sovereignty and democracy. This anniversary not only celebrated the flag but also reignited discussions about Canadian identity.
