Flaga na maszt

Juz dzisiaj swiateczna atmosfera przed jutrzejszym swietem panstwowym Kanady - Dniem Kanady (Canada Day). Ja postanowilem wywiesic dzisiaj flage Kanady na samochodzie na te okazje.

05:25 Hrs. Lektura tronowa. "The Philadelphia Trumpet" (www.thetrumpet.com).

Over 25,000 people die each day of starvation, according to the United Nations. Some 854 million people are undernourished. A billion people live on less than one dollar a day (Gerald Flurry, "Roots of Civilization", THE PHILADELPHIA TRUMPET, June-July 2008).

06:27 Hrs. Wywieszam flage kanadyjska w oknie samochodu. Obok przejezdza glosny zolty samochod szczotko-odkurzacz. Na dworze slonecznie. Spiew ptakow. W dzienniku: 3 osoby zginely i 10 rannych w wypasku polskiego busa w Niemczech. Tysiace kierowcow blokuje autostrady we Francji. Radosc w Hiszpanii, smutek w Niemczech po wczorajszym meczu. Po drodze mija mnie jeden samochod tak jak ja z flaga kanadyjska.
ESSO, Shell, Canadian Tire, Petro-Canada biora za litr paliwa $1.34.7.

15:15 Hrs. Wracam z pracy do domu. Na dworze zachmurzenie umiarkowane 22-stopniowo. Jade przy otwartym oknie. Po drodze mijaja mnie 3 samochody z kanadyjskimi flagami. To jednak wiecej mysli tak jak ja. Patriotycznie.

19:35 Hrs. Daje glos na Ustke (3513) na portalu Gmina (http://www.gmina.pl/).

20:23 Hrs. Probuje juz po raz czwarty wykonac wpis na watku "Bolek" na Forum Ustki (http://www.ustka.pl/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=666).

21:15 Hrs. Zrywam kartke z kalendarza.

On November 21, 1921, King George V decreed that the Royal Arms of Canada should contain, among other allusive heraldic features, "on a wreath of the colours argent and gules a lion passant guardant or imperially crowned proper and holding in the dexter paw a maple leaf gules." Or, a lion standing on a braid of red (gules, from the same root as "gullet," red throat) and white (argent, silvery white) holding a red leaf in his right paw.
From this edict, and after only another 40-plus years of wrangling, Canada derived the colours of its national flag. Why red and white? (The banners of Peru, Monaco, Tonga, Austria, Greenland, Switzerland, Denmark, Poland, Singapore, Turkey, Japan, Hong Kong, Georgia, and Indonesia are also white and red, each for a different reason.). And where are the blues of Quebec and Scotland, the green of Ireland, and the petals of fleur-de-lis?
"The was a conscious effort to make a clean beginning," says Ralph Spence, expert vexillologist (flag geek) and current Albion Herald Extraordinary for Canada. "The red is for sacrifice and the white is for purity and the North. It has nothing to do with St. George's Cross or the flag of England, or the white of the Kings of France. It has everything to do with the sacrifices of Canadian soldiers in the First World War" ("Colours.
