Absolutely!
If any Canadian respects this symbol then many regions of America beckon. My parents moved from Ontario to California and eventually to Arkansas, thinking the state was racist.
"The Confederate flag was flown during the U.S. Civil War by the secessionist southern states, notoriously by General Robert E. Lee's army that fought to preserve slavery."
As a United States Marine, educated in America, this statement is ignorant. "Despite this, the flag continues to be flown, and some who choose to fly it justify it as a symbol of independence from government or rural pride."
My parents weren't right about which state is the most racist either.
I appreciate your openness Sir, but do you really think you can have a constructive conversation with someone who honors slavery? "Rochard said seeing the flag makes him feel "uneasy and uncomfortable," but he'd also like to have a constructive dialogue with any person who flies it."
