Canada changed their flag in 1965... that's 20 years after the end of WW2.
What you wrote implies that Canada changed its flag soon after WW2...
Just saying...

Here's an idea......
Move to Canada.

20 years IS soon. That 19 year old supply clerk was 39 in 1965. 39 is but a kid from my perspective.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

No, what I wrote STATES that after WWII & WWI (in which many Canadian soldiers died fighting) that country changed their flag.
In what way did I imply any kind of time frame to narrow down from just after the war to yesterday?

I've only directly spoken to one serviceman, he was in favour of changing the flag.
The RSA never even gave the numbers of how many members favoured a change vs those that favoured keeping the flag.
I don't believe that the RSA speaks for every last member on this matter.

Can you elaborate?
Why would/should I move to Canada?
Surely it can't be just because there are idiots like you here, I'm sure there are idiots there too.

Yet, it should still be obvious many are literally telling you that keeping the flag is a way to honor them.
The whole idea of a referendum is to find out how many speak to which point. You can't go and dismiss it just because you don't think the majority agree or some shit.

I am sure there are returned services who genuinely feel, for one reason or another, that changing the flag insults them. Rather than making me want to support the status quo, it makes me feel sad that they are making & taking it personally.
But rather than stating a case about what flag change would mean to them, one would hope they would think about what the flag change means for us.
See the terrible thing about the RSA view was that there was this undercurrent of an idea that returned services, immediately upon return from service, aquired the right to take everything personally and selfishly from thereon, having 'done their bit'.
Where in actual fact many returned services continued to put their country before themselves.
The other problem with the RSA's view is that they completely ignored the returned servicemen/women who felt excited about the chance for change. And part of that group were probably excited because they were proud to be part of a group who helped keep our country a place where we could vote on a flag, rather than the incumbent leader suddenly deciding to change it at whim.

Fuck me ..
The referendum was set up to fail ... it failed. It's over - why all this bullshit and argument?
