Well, dear "Rabotiaga", please read this: I don't know why you lay all the blame on some "yellow-blue rag". You do not explain this to us very well. You could have some remote chance of being true if the people like you, who are now under the "red and a little green" and "red-white-blue" rags, would not be bitching and complaining as bitterly as you do now. The life of your spiritual brethren under those "rags" is often far less shiny. Many of them receive "humanitarian aid" from their "potential" NATO enemies in order not to starve. Those under the "read and a little green" are also having good old Soviet shops, full of dirt and bad smell, where they have to line up for some bread and milk. I am sure you miss them in your Canada.
Ta-ta.
