As proud Canadians across the globe took to their Apple devices to share their national pride they were faced with a horrible truth: there is no emoji of the Canadian flag.
For those unfamiliar with emoji, it is a wonderful font that consists entirely of small images. So instead of going through the hassle of typing out monkey, for example, emoji allows you to insert a small image of a monkey. Ah the wonders of modern technology.
Back to the point, along with an impressive collection of animals from monkeys to turtles to dragons, emoji features a fairly extensive gallery of national flags. Nations deemed worthy by the programmers include the U.S., Spain, Japan, Great Britain, and many others.
Yes, I believe this is what the kids would refer to as a “first-world problem,” but I think someone owes the people of Canada an apology. Although knowing their national capacity for niceness they’re probably cool with it.
I only hope Canada was still able to enjoy their holiday. With that I wish you a happy day after Canada Day Canucks, stay strong.
