NEW - Fifty Bucks for a Canada Day Flag. The Pole Is From China.

NEW - Fifty Bucks for a Canada Day Flag. The Pole Is From China.

Bob Addison went back to read the label on a six-foot Canada Day flag at Costco. Made in Canada, imported fabric, pole and bracket from China. Fifty dollars. The irony runs deeper when you consider Canada probably sold them the coal that fired the furnace that made the pole.

That observation opens into something the algorithm has been quietly building for a while. Nostalgia for the sixties, seventies, and eighties is everywhere on social media — Vancouver street footage from sixty years ago, old hockey cards on T-shirts, Jim Morrison at YVR, top-ten song intro lists that disappear the evening. Bob Addison graduated in the late seventies into Supertramp, Genesis, and an inevitable Doors phase. Shane Hewitt graduated into Much Dance 93. Both agree the brain keeps those years in a different place than everything else — warmer, more specific, harder to shake.

The question nobody can quite answer is whether it's nostalgia or just the part of memory that stress never got to.

Topics: Canada Day flag made in China, buying Canadian, sixties nostalgia social media, high school music memories, Much Dance 93
