Black Friday In Canada
Black Friday in Canada started over a decade ago when the Canadian dollar was worth the same as the American dollar and Canadians started crossing the border to shop on Black Friday.
This is a great time to try one of our hand sewn nylon Canada Flags made at our factory in Barrie, Ontario. You won’t be disappointed with this stunning Canadian Made Flag!
Remember Flag for Nov 11th
In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
the torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

In Vecchietti’s version, a purple circle overlaid over a yellow triangle has been added to the chevron on the left side of Quasar’s design, a nod to Australian Morgan Carpenter’s famous 2013 intersex flag.
