We were never much of a nationalist country to begin with, but now flying the flag has become synonymous with anti-vaxxers. It will take years to reverse the stigma.

Exactly, this. I said this in the Olympics thread too, I live in the Beltline close to 17th (where the weekly Sat afternoon Freedumb protests go through), was all excited after Max Parrot's gold medal so I wanted to wear my Canadian Olympics hoodie the next day on Sat. But I know I'll just look like one of those protestors to everyone when wearing it, so I've mostly not been wearing it.
So frustrating how I feel like I can't show my support for the Canadian Olympians right now due to the flag being used as the freedumb crowd's symbol.
