Eric=Hey, do I read this right? Government buildings and schools don't have to fly your flag? Every town or city hall, school, municipal building etc. in Canada has to fly the Maple Leaf. And lots of homeowners fly the flag year round; and on Canada Day, just about everyone has a flag: on their house, car, hat, shirt, boat, bike, tatooed on their asses .... everywhere.

Perhaps it's time that we, the majority re-claimed our National flags? Both the Union
Flag and the England Flag have been mis-represented for far too long.
If instead of little Hitlers being allowed to ban them from being flown, we follow the example of the obvious National Pride displayed by Eric & his fellow Canadians and flew the flags from just about every building across the land, the minorities that would use them for foul means would be forced away from disgracing these symbols of pride and design a rag of their own for others to spit on?
