Hockey Sticks Instead of Flagpoles? Doesn't Get More Canadian Than That

Have you ever seen an ice hockey stick holding up a flag instead of a flagpole? You probably haven't traveled to Canada if you haven't. When the person who took this picture got on the plane to go to the northern country, they didn't think this would be one of the best parts of their trip. But it's too amusing to not take a picture of Canadians using hockey sticks as flagpoles.
We only have a few questions: Did they use those hockey sticks because they didn't have a flagpole? Or is this simply how Canadians do things? Hockey is a big deal for Canadians!
