To flag or not to flag, that is THE question...

Conversation non provoquée, sur le ferry Victoria-Port Angeles:
-La Madame: where are you from?
-Moi: Montreal
-LM: well, you don't have a flag?
-M: a flag?
-LM: yes a flag of Canada... Or Quebec if you prefer...(you,
separatist en non verbal)
-M: well, no. I don't.
-LM: why not?
-M: why should I...?
-LM: people could know that you're canadian...
-M: (dans ma tête: et être associée à Harper et ses politiques
ultra rétrogrades conservatrices? Non merci!) well, it's fun to let
people interested to know asking, like you just did, Mam... Isn't it?
-LM: well, if you prefer... Let's say it's a question of proud maybe...
-M: (Here we are....) Or a question of discretion, Mam... Have a nice
day!
-Have a nice trip.

Voilà, la question demeurera en suspens... To flag or not to flag when
travelling? Not for me. Contacts are more fun without. Ça devient un
point de départ intéressant entre deux personnes qui souhaitent se
placoter au détour...
