"Hemp"

Is anyone as offended as I am at the Toronto (or Canadian) Hemp Company for super-imposing cannibas in place of The Maple Leaf on a green coloured national flag?

We're not too jingoistic, but certainly there are limits.

Their store-front is on the east side of Yonge around Wellsley.
 
Oh al-riiigghht. I'm not sure I care either, but I feel I ought to be. Are we apathetic or open-minded?
 
Can't it be both?

I applaud creativity, and just can't be bothered to get worked up over something like this.

Hardly the first time such an obvious thing was done.
 
There are a ton of logos for various items out there that incorporate aspects of the Canadian flag or maple leaf... is it offensive that people wave Toronto Maple Leaf Flags based on the Canadian flag with blue stripes down the sides and the TML logo in the centre?
 
Are those girls triplets, or is it the same person posed three times?

As for "Hemp", this is certainly not the height of creativity, but not worth getting worked up over.

intresting coincidence with the quotation marks. some sort of subliminal message happing here?
 
A couple of remembrance days ago, some WW2 veterans were reported to be upset about the flag that replaces the maple leaf with the cannabis leaf.

I heard one of the guys interviewed, and he was basically saying that his friends had died protecting the ideals of the country which are embodied in that flag (though it wasn't the flag at the time) and he saw it that the younger generation was making a mockery of those sacrifices.

I see where he's coming from. My generation has never seen war up close, so those symbols have less meaning for us.
 
And most old soldiers haven't seen hemp up close. So we fight them to a draw.
