You wonder why the Americans have such a strong sense of rights waving their flag at every opportunity?
You wonder why they fight and scrape to the point of insanity about freedom to do what they want?
You wonder why they are nutso about guns, money and religion?? Hell they even pullout 200′ flags at sporting events just to remind everybody that football and baseball are American.
Well, in Canada we can’t even show our flag on a pin because of bullshit revolving around colours of the liberal party. How stupidly insane is that?
Now the conspiracy nuts will say its a conservative initiative (which may not be too far from the truth) but the reality is that if we as the citizens of this country cannot even muster around our own flag, then why are we even a country.
Whomever made the call on this particular issue should be charged with treason.

This is only partially true. The workers were MISTAKENLY asked to remove the flags by their supervisor, but an Elections Canada official later rectified the error, as there is actually no rule against displaying the flag at a polling station. Moral of the story: stop using the Toronto Sun as a news source – they almost never get it right.

I agree 100% on the Sun comment, however the fact that somebody made the wrong call in the first place is the issue regardless of if it was corrected.
Here is what I am talking about…. I’m sure it wouldn’t have been a confusing issue at this location…
