@@ashbjornssonfilm Quebec has been a part of and benefitting economically and militarily from the British Empire and its successors since before the American Revolution.

The Surrey Flag Society was formed by neighbours who wish to rally around this powerful and beloved symbol. Our goal is to raise enough money to buy the good people at Barnes Wheaton North Surrey a brand new flag as a good will gesture and a big thank you for keeping "The Flag" flying, with a maintenance cost over $25,000 per year, year after year. It is the opinion of the Surrey Flag Society that we all benefit from this beautiful icon. We would love to pay them back just once. "The Flag" has been flying 86 meters high and mighty over our city since 1987. It has been a source of pride, not just for the local community, but for the entire city and country. The flag that was shredded into pieces during the storm was only two days old. A quick history of "The Flag"...

50th Anniversary of our flag in 2015, woo!
Lester Pearson had no mandate from the Canadian people to change the flag and national anthem.
Shows what you know.
@@sweiland75 I suggest you read the great Canadian flag debate of 1965 ?
It’s been almost 60 years, get the hell over it

We made the right choice. Flag of a country over a flag of a colony.

Metre, not "meter"
What a dark day in Canadian history…
Awful flag. The old one is far better.
