This is kind of an odd event. Canadians aren't particularly concerned with national identity, and tend to look down on patriotic grandstanding. But it is organized by Canadians, so maybe you feel differently when you're living abroad. (Though my feeling is that America barely counts as "abroad.")

- fnid 17y agoI disagree. Nearly every Canadian traveler I met wandering around the world has a Canadian flag on their bag.
- jrbedard 17y agoI saw a lot of back-packers through Europe with a Canadian flag on their bag. Many of them told me that it was to not be confused with Americans, to get a slightly better treatment abroad. Some of them were even actually Americans sporting the Canadian flag because of past bad experiences.
