I have in the past as well, this time not gonna bother (even if the flag is the red, white, blue and yellow, which is gonna get me shot more). Part laziness, part "fuck it factor".
I'd have more of an issue with it being a Canadian Forces uniform with a patch though. Case in point, I have the squadren patch for the 403 Griffon Squadron at CFB Gagetown, I bought it when I spent a couple weeks there working with them. I also bought a couple CH-146 Griffon patchs, and the 50th anniversary patch for the Wolfpack Squadron. I put the Griffon patch and the Wolfpack patch on my work flight jacket, and another Griffon patch on my flightsuit, but not the 403 patch, because I wasn't a member of that squadron. I just put it on my office wall. I'm not a Griffon pilot, but have flown in them and have a few hours training in the CAE CH-146 Griffon simulator, but the biggest reason I wear the Griffon patch is that at that time I was working full time on our Bell 412, which is what the Griffon is.
