You're not alone Steve, eh! It is my understanding that the Flag issue is on Eric's "To do" list, and that our Preferences will include it in the future.
Until then (if that could be of any consolation), one may notice that UK (you know, English was firstly spoken there, was it not?) doesn't have a flag, either.
Warm Canadian regards,

PS I hope that future is coming to get us BEFORE an affordable Time Machine gets posted on the Internet, on sale.
