If the Canadian Flag Is So "Triggering" ...




... then do not move to a country that flies it:

The Chronicle Herald out of Halifax, Nova Scotia, has actually run a trigger warning for printing the Canadian flag in its Saturday edition. 

They write: "To our readers: inside today's edition, on page A9, you'll find a Canadian flag to clip and post to help celebrate July 1. We understand the flag doesn't mean the same thing to everyone, however, we hope our readers recognize their ability to play a role in shaping Canada's future is a freedom worth acknowledging."


What future would it be when a symbol becomes offensive but not the succour the country that offers it doesn't?


Triggering: when your pants get soiled because of words.
