This is a new thread for all sorts of questions or statements, or maybe just an opinion.

I start with prepositions: actually very important little words which we can't do without.

Are you embarrassed about where you're from you don't fly a flag.

Eh is an expression that has been around longer than you or I lemon and I don't care how old you are!

Not all Canadians use it, you will see it more in some Provinces than others, for example I've never heard it in Newfoundland for example, but I am told some do use it.

I don't know how to put up a flag
I know where to put a pole though
but what does it mean?

You're not serious about not knowing how to put up a flag as I am pretty sure I saw one flying back some years ago.

what's the point in flying a flag?
I'll defend my clan to the death
I live in the land of trump
and soon you will too

I know this was directed to torunn, but she didn't want to know I did.

Is this just an example or all of them?

I would guess it's all of them, or perhaps the most frequent ones. There may be old ones too which are seldom or never used but you will still find them in old literature or magazines.
