Books of Thought

When you start following me, please send me a message telling me your general political and/or spiritual views and why you're following me. I love knowing such things.
Things to expect on this blog: Austrian School economics; Libertarian politics; guns; Celtic/Druidic paganism; and maybe the occasional rant.

Here’s my idea for a Canadian Gadsden. What does everyone think? Symbolism: Green flag - symbolizes the boreal forests, as well as opposition to Socialism (of Communist, Marxist-Leninist, and National varieties) “Don’t Mess With Me” - analogous to “Don’t Tread On Me” Moose is native to Canada, and is found almost everywhere in it Large animal - Canada is geographically large Good eyesight - The constant watchfulness that a free people must always have Solitary - Advocating for a lack of formal alliances, but rather amicable relations with nations Few natural predators - A libertarian country doesn’t experience blowback Peaceful… - A libertarian country doesn’t go looking for fights… …but will mess you up if provoked.

Here’s my idea for a Canadian Gadsden. What does everyone think?

Symbolism:

  • Green flag - symbolizes the boreal forests, as well as opposition to Socialism (of Communist, Marxist-Leninist, and National varieties)
  • “Don’t Mess With Me” - analogous to “Don’t Tread On Me”
  • Moose is native to Canada, and is found almost everywhere in it
  • Large animal - Canada is geographically large
  • Good eyesight - The constant watchfulness that a free people must always have
  • Solitary - Advocating for a lack of formal alliances, but rather amicable relations with nations
  • Few natural predators - A libertarian country doesn’t experience blowback
  • Peaceful… - A libertarian country doesn’t go looking for fights…
  • …but will mess you up if provoked.

Canadian Gadsden Contest! Last Call!

I’m surprised nobody’s participated in this. Click the link, submit a sweet flag idea, and get bragging rights (and maybe a free flag too)!

Canadian Gadsden Contest! Second Call!

Haven’t got any submissions yet. There’s got to be some libertarians, protesters, anarchists, anarcho-capitalists, minarchists, free-marketers, or Tea Partiers who can make a flag in MS Paint or Photoshop!

Canadian Gadsden Contest!

I’m trying to come up with a good, Canadian alternative to the Gadsden flag. It needs to be similar in the “big moves” (that is, an animal and a motto on a single-colour field), but using distinctly Canadian imagery. I also want it to evoke the values and characteristics of a free republic, namely:

  • Constant vigilance (on watch for threats to liberty)
  • Non-predatory nature
  • Peaceful, but will mess you up if provoked
  • Likes to be left alone

Photo reply with your ideas and your last name. Picture quality counts, with Wikipedia’s flag images being the mark to shoot for. I’ll post my favourite six (plus my idea), and have everyone vote on the best one. Whoever wins will have the flag named after them, and if I decide to get them made, I’ll send the designer one for free!

Additionally, I’m going to make the winning submission my avatar and factor it into my page (when I change my theme), so there are plenty of bragging rights up for grabs too!
