Not quite ready for Canada Day

Just a few days ago, a private members bill  passed third reading in the House of Commons in Ottawa. The proposed legislation  will legally protect the rights of Canadians to fly  the  country’s flag, a right Canadians have always assumed.  For some reason, the NDP voted against it.

It's interesting, when considering flags, to compare the USA to Canada.  Americans seem to consider their flag to be very important, with strict rules about handling the flag.

I happened to snap a few pictures of a flag flying over L&M grocery store on the main street of Elora.  Considering that Elora is a very tourist-oriented town, it's a shame that thousands of visitors probably see this sight.

I read an article about a man in Cambridge that gives out free flags when, in his travels, he sees one in bad condition.  His patriotism is admirable. I guess he hasn't made it to Elora yet.
