LETTER: Canadians must take back our flag

I certainly don’t support the ignorant beliefs of the ongoing protests; if anything, they have embarrassed our country. But worse, they have very successfully stolen our Canadian flag to use as a symbol for their anti-government belief.

I certainly don’t support the ignorant beliefs of the ongoing protests; if anything, they have embarrassed our country. But worse, they have very successfully stolen our Canadian flag to use as a symbol for their anti-government belief.

Due to this ‘takeover’ of our once-great flag, I have had to lower the flag at my personal residence as, clearly, I don’t want to be associated with this far-right movement. Our Canadian flag can represent either our country or their ‘movement,’ but it really can’t be both. Canadians must now consider how to take back our flag.
