One interesting feature of this Great Reset era, that for me really started two and half years ago (before this time I was essentially still asleep, although I started scratching my head rather seriously with 9/11) is how often I am flabbergasted by what I see out here in the world. The antics of the sheep around me are usually the source for my jaw dropping moments, but today it was a blatant display of insanity created by my own little community of Aurora, a 45-minute drive north of Toronto, Canada.

The little image that accompanies this article is what inspired my incredulous response. I have included the poor quality real photo below to honestly document the experience (the image mentioned above is a fabrication—it is prettier and clearer than my photo.)

Why in the hell is the Ukrainian flag sharing the flagpole with the Canadian flag? Now, I am not nationalist, in fact, I am a dual citizen with both Canadian and American passports, and if my allegiance is anywhere, it is with the US (now, if THAT isn’t a dubious comment, I don’t know what is, but just forgive me, please.) Nationalist or not, flying the Ukrainian flag on the same mast as the flag of the country I am a citizen of is a bit too much for me. My allegiance, if anywhere, is to Canada, not Ukraine. How could anyone who decided to do this be that stupid? That’s a rhetorical question by the way.
