TFG Unbuttoned: Americans Accused of Flag-Jacking by Canadians

from The Focus Group · host Bleav + The Focus Group

What is flag-jacking? It’s when you wear or show another country’s flag when traveling to pretend you are from somewhere else. Specifically, Canadians are saying that Americans are flag-jacking while traveling overseas and “identifying as Canadians” to avoid anti-American sentiment. Then, people are spending an insane amount of money at McDonald’s—particularly when they use a food delivery app. Finally, to honor the 40th anniversary of “Songs from the Big Chair,” Tears for Fears is releasing an expanded reissue of the album.
