To hide their hate a few homophobes have resorted to claiming that thousand have died for our Flag, and that it is disrespectful to have “the Gay Flag” on the same pole as the Canadian Flag. This is North Huron’s official stance and that of few of their drooling feral followers.
These troglodytes also firmly believe the “Gays” should not be allowed to use a maple leaf as it is offensive and somehow means they hate veterans. If the public education system failed you miserably or if you have a severe learning disability, you may agree with them.
Did anyone die for our Flag?
No, no they didn’t.
Hitler did not travel forward in time to the 1960’s to steal our “Stanley” Flag and then back to 1939.
Hitler didn’t steal our Flag, and if he did, we had more.
Canada did not send soldiers to get the Flag back, that is not what the war was about.
People don’t die for flags.
I am 100% confident that those liberated during the war never once believed that the war was fought over the Canadian Flag.
If these rednecks truly are offended by the Canadian Flag’s reputation being abused, they must be outraged about the rampant sexual abuse in the Canadian military who wear the Canadian Flag emblem daily. They would be horrified if they did an internet search for Canadian Peacekeepers and sexual misconduct.
It used to be a free country and should be once again.
Anyone can use the Maple Leaf. Get over it!

I am a Canadian Forces veteran, I served my country at home and abroad. What seems to be misunderstood in this situation is the Canadian flag is sacred. Any alteration, modification, hanging a flag that is in poor condition is a desecration of our flag. Whether it be the Toronto Maple Leafs, or any organization, no matter how cute, using the flag as any sort of promotional stunt is desecration of a sacred symbol of our nation. Having said that, the flag is a symbol of the freedom and Charter of Rights that as a serving member and veterans of the CF, we spend our lives defending. Remember, freedom is not free, a terrible price is paid in the defence of it. So, as a veteran I would ask that a pride flag be flown along side the Canadian flag, just not the current one. I absolutely support LGTBQ rights and the right of every Canadian to be represented.
Thank you Pamela, finally someone has posted a great comment on here. I am also from a military family and your comments are right on point, thank you.
