Take cover, world, the Canadians are angry.
Our friendly neighbors to the north tried to celebrate Canada Day on Monday with celebratory tweets and texts, but a conspiracy thwarted their efforts. It had nothing to do with hockey sticks, Tim Horton's or Degrassi -- no, the Canadians have discovered there is no Canadian flag emoji.
Canadians took to Twitter to vent their anger over this disgraceful oversight. Way to ruin Canada Day, emoji. :(

I'd post the Canadian flag emoji in celebration of Canada Day, but Canada apparently doesn't rate highly enough in Japan for a flag emoji.— Nico (@NicoRBR) July 1, 2013
