In the spirit of the national birthday...



Hoping you all have a good one, people!

If I had a Canadian flag around here, I would be waving it in solidarity. Interestingly, my boss brought one back from his vacation to Niagra Falls, and it's in the graphics room at the moment. There was also a Canada themed slinky that I threw at our art director a lot.

Can a country trademark its flag? I had thought that they couldn't, though I suppose a brand incorporating the flag could be.

We've got several Acts that insist upon the notion of "Crown trademark". That designs related to national identity ought to be controlled by the Crown. The Mounties could make a case for its continuance based on some misadventures. And did, in fact.
