| Description | The provocative results of a new survey challenge the long-held notion that Canadians are reluctant to be as outwardly patriotic as their brash American neighbours.
The Ipsos-Reid online survey of 1,100 people — conducted for the Historica-Dominion Institute in the days leading up to the Canada Day long weekend — suggest the Canadian sense of national pride is becoming an in-your-face swagger.
That is particularly true when it comes to the country's most potent national symbol — the maple leaf.
One in five of those surveyed said they would consider getting a tattoo of a Canadian flag somewhere on their body.
They didn't say where.
But respondents from Saskatchewan and Manitoba seemed the most eager, as well as those under 55. |
