My question was specific to the pledge of allegiance. Given you spent a lot of time in Canada how did you handle standing to give an "oath" to a foreign country's flag ? Standing for an anthem is not the same as taking an oath.
How did you handle it ?
Simply stand
Stand and remove your cap
Stand with hand over heart
Stand with hand over heart and pretend to mouth the words
How often did this happen to you ? At what kind of events ? Here in TV this realistically could be a daily event to a Canadian home owner participating in rec activities.
Spoiler alert - Canadians do not have a pledge of allegiance to their flag.
Did you know our pledge of allegiance was invented as a marketing ploy to sell magazines ?
