Support Red Fridays

I was forwarded an email today that I had to check out. It's promoting "Red Fridays" - wearing a red shirt on Fridays to support our Canadian troops. It is a legitimate foundation - http://www.redfridays.ca/

We had been discussing around the office just a week or so ago, the fact that as Canadians we don't wear our patriotism on our sleeves like our American cousins. Why is that? Are we taught from a early age to not show our colours - sort of like "don't rock the boat"? Is our country really that bad that we're ashamed to say that we're Canadian when we're at home? When I went to Europe 8 years ago I was told to put a Cdn sticker on my luggage, so people would know I was Canadian rather than American. So when we're in Europe we're proud to show we're Canadian, but when we're at home it's silence?

Hmmm.... I'm going to start wearing a red shirt on Fridays. And I'm going to check Wal-Mart & Canadian Tire to see if I can find a flag. Can't put a flag on my car antenna as I don't have one...
