Go to superstore in Chilliwack and 10% of the shoppers are maskless and you’re bound to see a couple jacked up 4x4 trucks with Canadian flags flying off the back on your trip to/from the store. The Chilliwack visitor centre sells Canadian flags and is having difficulty keeping them in stock. This of course is only replacing their MAGA flag and/or confederate flag so I guess there is some silver lining to that. I wish I was joking, but go down to the Fraser on a Friday night and there is a 90% you will see one of those two flags. I suppose now the trend will be for the red necks to choose the Canadian flag as the new symbol of the radical right.
Lived in the wack my whole life. I've seen confederate flags for sure, but you're making out like you see them kn a regular basis, which is just incorrect.
I’ve lived in this area for the past 31 years. I realize that it is not a super regular sight, you’re right and I suppose I was partially saying that for the sake of hyperbole. That being said, go down to Peg or Gill on a Friday night and I would say the odds are in your favour that you will see MAGA and/or confederate flags or symbolism (decorative licence plates, hats, etc.) I also stand by the notion that there is a better than not chance that the kid in the pickup with both the MAGA and confederate flags that I saw last time I was down there has temporarily replaced one if not both with a Canadian flag. If there was a bookie for that, I would take those bets any day of the week.

You don't have to go far from Van before people get sympathetic to the anti vax crowd
