It91裸聊视频檚 been said that Canadians are not brash about their patriotism, but you wouldn91裸聊视频檛 know it from the variety of merchandise, big and small, being snapped up in advance of Canada91裸聊视频檚 150th birthday July 1.

From T-shirts to hats, flags to flasks, condoms to caskets, goods adorned with celebratory logos are popping up faster than you can say sesquicentennial.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 been unprecedented. It91裸聊视频檚 off the charts,91裸聊视频� said Glen Miller, co-owner of Great Canadian Gift Company in Ancaster, Ont.

91裸聊视频淲e had no idea that demand would be this high and I don91裸聊视频檛 think our suppliers did either. It91裸聊视频檚 becoming difficult to find some products.91裸聊视频�

Miller91裸聊视频檚 company runs a website that offers T-shirts, coffee mugs, coasters, whisky flasks and more 91裸聊视频� much of it adorned with a multi-coloured, multi-triangle maple leaf that was picked in April as the federal government91裸聊视频檚 official Canada 150 logo.

The federal government is allowing people to use the official logo for free, but they must submit an application online that explains how and on what the logo will be displayed.

By mid-June, the federal government said, more than 6,200 applications had been approved for everything from quilts to fidget spinners to tractor trucks.

No application had been denied.

While the Heritage Department says many licences have been granted for Canadian-made products, there is no requirement that goods featuring the Canada 150 logo be made in Canada.

91裸聊视频淧rivate-sector companies are free to source their products from any supplier they choose,91裸聊视频� department spokeswoman Justine Lafond wrote in an email.

One product that caught people91裸聊视频檚 attention at a funeral industry trade show in Charlottetown earlier this month was a casket emblazoned with Maple Leaf flags and a version of the Canada 150 logo.

Caley Ferguson, president of Northern Casket in Lindsay, Ont., said the product is a one-off that was aimed at attracting people to his booth. The company later decided to auction it off and bids were received from funeral homes across Canada.

91裸聊视频淎ll the monies raised from the auction, we are donating to the (winning) funeral home91裸聊视频檚 community91裸聊视频檚 Canada 150 events,91裸聊视频� Ferguson said.

A U.S.-based condom manufacturer named One ran a contest to see who could design the best Canada-150-themed condom wrapper.

But there were no government logos in the contraceptive competition. Finalists included depictions of amorous moose, playful salmon and some word play centred on skiing.

As for the official logo, Miller said, people are warming up to its many hues and sharp angles 91裸聊视频� him included.

91裸聊视频淥n our Facebook page, we have received a few negative comments about the new logo 91裸聊视频� saying 91裸聊视频楾hat91裸聊视频檚 not my flag91裸聊视频� and that sort of thing, but I think overall it91裸聊视频檚 been very well received,91裸聊视频� he said.

91裸聊视频淚 have to admit, myself, when I first saw it I wasn91裸聊视频檛 too positive on it.

91裸聊视频淏ut I really like it now. It91裸聊视频檚 really grown on me 91裸聊视频� and I hope it sticks around for a while.91裸聊视频�
