He hates our Canada and its values with a passion, so it follows that Stephen Harper would hate its most powerful and beautiful symbol.
He spent almost nothing to celebrate its fiftieth birthday.
The federal government has allotted $50,000 for celebrations for the upcoming 50th birthday of the iconic Maple Leaf flag.
That's compared to almost $4 million for a campaign marking the 200th anniversary of Sir John A. Macdonald's birth, and $5.2 million spent on the bicentennial of the War of 1812.
So this couldn't be more hypocritical.
