Manitoba - OUR Home and Native Land

On 11 May 1965, in protest of the new Canadian maple leaf flag, the WASPs running the province of Manitoba decided to make a variation of the Red Ensign our official flag. They hoisted the flag out of equal parts pride in their heritage and hatred for the franco-manitobaine population. It has flown over our province since it was officially proclaimed by our absentee monarch on 12 May 1966. The WASPs wanted to show their domination of our province by placing the symbols of their homeland on our homeland. It is time to start pushing for a new flag. One that will represent our land in its entirety. In time the WASPs will have less and less control and influence. If people start forcing the issue now eventually we can a beautiful new flag for all Manitobans. Please contact the Premier and let him know that we want a new flag as soon as possible.
