Recently, a large Canadian flag wrapped on the Manitoba Legislature front is being repaired for the second time and is being adopted by the Manitoba government.
The Nine-Bai-18-meter flag was the property of the Vinnipag Blue Bomes Football Team and was brought to the ground for the national anthem before each domestic game.
The provincial government borrowed it in early March and hung above the main entrance of the legislature as a symbol of resistance to the tariff threatened by US President Donald Trump.
Strong priest winds torn down something and were taken down, repaired and returned again to “rally for Canada” in the last weekend, which saw hundreds of people gathered in front of the Legislature.

Northern wind caused more rips. As a result, the NDP government has offered to hold the flag and buy a new one to the football club.
Premier Web Curty said on Thursday, “We want to buy them a new huge flag, which they lended to us and of course, they are trying to say, not in a very Canadian manner, not, we will not listen to any of them. We were planning to buy a new flag anyway,” Premier Wab Kinu said on Thursday.
“So there is one back and forth, but we are going to buy them a new huge flag … and we will have a huge flag for provincial purposes.”
It is some logistic cases to find out, such as how to properly store something of that size and how it can be moved without more damage.
Setting it can be somewhat difficult to work. In the long lifts known as cherry picker, workers were seen drilling in the stone legislature last month to anchor the flag in many places.
Kneu brought the flag for public programs across the province.
“Now, it’s in the repair shop, so to speak … and of course we have learned a lot about the management of that kind of flags,” he said.
“This is not going to collect dust in a storage room. We use this symbol that our country is currently to celebrate the spirit of everyone.”
