March 31: ‘These people have had a negative impact on the world’s view of not only our country, but the flag it represents.’ What does the Canadian flag stand for? Plus other letters to the editor
: An opportunity to do this would be on July 1. Governments at every level should call on Canadians to celebrate our country that day by flying a flag.
This would leave protesters in an ambiguous position. If they fly a flag, are they celebrating or protesting? Change the narrative and help return the role of our flag to its rightful place.Contributor John Boyko precisely articulates my sentiments on the need to recapture our flag from the rabble that recently infested city centres and border crossings.
As a frequent traveller beyond our borders , I can attest that the actions of these people have had a negative impact on the world’s view of not only our country, but the flag it represents.Does the author think the same thing if he drives by a house in Toronto that flies a flag? Or does he equate that people who live in the country have a certain point of view?This opinion seems to paint an entire nation with one brush.
