Proudly Canadian | Polite, Not Passive T-Shirt

Proudly Canadian — Polite, Not Passive was inspired by the idea that kindness and strength can go hand in hand. Being Canadian is often associated with being friendly and polite, but that doesn’t mean staying quiet when something matters. This design celebrates being welcoming, respectful, and compassionate while still standing up for what you believe in. It’s our little reminder that you can have a good heart and a strong voice at the same time. 🍁

Proudly Canadian. Polite, not passive.

Being Canadian can mean kindness, respect, and looking out for one another—but being polite doesn’t mean we don’t stand up for what matters.

Featuring a bold maple leaf and classic red, white, and blue styling, Proudly Canadian — Polite, Not Passive celebrates a Canada that can be welcoming and good-natured while still having a backbone.

Made for Canadians who are proud of where they call home and aren’t afraid to show it.

Size guide

Follow these care tips and your Twins Journal Designs tees will stay soft, bold, and ready for every family moment—wash after wash:

• Wash & dry inside out. Simple step, big protection for the print.
• Use cold water + gentle detergent. Keep it low and mild—your shirt likes it that way.
• Avoid bleach and harsh stain fighters. They can fade colors and weaken the design.
• Skip heavy-duty cycles and extra spinning. Less stress = longer-lasting fabric.
• Air dry when you can. If you tumble dry, use low heat and don’t pack it in with heavy items like towels or blankets.
• Iron inside out on low heat. Never iron directly on the design—prints and hot plates don’t mix.

Shipping

• Orders are typically shipped within 7 days of placing the order
• Once shipped, allow 2-5 days for orders to be delivered
