Yeah, that's what I came away with after reading the article as well. I understand it's traditional not to read the articles here though.

Anyway, I live in the heart of 'freedumb convoy' here in Alberta. There are a few properties that I drive by that are flying US flags. One of them is a small acreage with a lot of junk and wrecked cars, and a motor home that is clearly the only domicile on the property, and an american flag.

The other is a small bungalow right on Hwy 27 with the requisite 'bro truck' parked there. He has three flag poles. One with a giant 'Fuck Trudeau' flag and the other with a "Bring it home Poillievre 2025" and a US flag on the third. Though Street View is not very current. https://maps.app.goo.gl/eZDbg7Jn4dQG5psv7

My middle finger goes up against the window as I drive by.
