The True North, Strong and free
5 Million Flags
In the face of a bizarre but realistic threat, Canadians are fighting back.We need to show the world, and we need to show the US, that we stand on guard for Canada. That we live in the land of the strong and the free. That we have true patriot love for who we are as Canadians.To do that, let's get 5 million flags flying at Canadian households.It is said that there are 14 million Canadian households. Hundreds of thousands of office facilities and industrial locations.What if we could get 1/3 of them flying the flag, as a symbol of our resolve?
Why Should We Do This?
Stand on Guard
The insanity of the situation is such that Canadians are gathering around their identity like never before.Our flag is our statement of unity - our purpose - our guiding light for our true north, which is strong and free.By placing a flag on our homestead, we are planting a flag for our future.Each and every one will stand as a symbol of our resolve, our trust in our purpose, and our pride in who we are.
True Patriot Love

This is as much a public relations war as it is an economic war.We need ALL Americans to understand our strength, our power, our resolve. In the face of an unrelenting news cycle with so many other crisis at hand, we also need to gain the attention of the world at large.We need to launch a massive PR war via our flag.Five million of them.Planting your flag is a symbol of that resolve.
