Well, it appears, it's worthy of arrest in Caledonia. The National Post has been doing an outstanding job of covering the news, like Climategate. Now they increase their readership with yet another great article.
Ontatio police banned Canadian flag in occupied areas of Caledonia, court hears
HAMILTON -- Recent videos of two flag-waving marches along the main street in Caledonia, passing a site that has been occupied by native protesters since 2006, were shown in court on Thursday, starkly highlighting the different reactions of police to aboriginal marchers and Caledonia residents.
The videos make it appear as though the Canadian flag has been outlawed in the area by the Ontario Provincial Police.
The first video (the fourth video on this external website) shows Caledonia resident Randy Fleming walking down the side of Argyll Street South last Victoria Day -- May 24, 2009 -- with a Canadian flag tied to a stick slung over his left shoulder. He saunters on to the edge of the occupied site, at which point he is grabbed by a black-clad OPP officer, escorted a few metres off the site, and is then pounced on by several other officers.
An officer is seen taking the flag from Mr. Fleming, quickly rolling it up and handing it to another officer, who rushes away with it.
Whatever happened to one law for all? The OPP must cringe when they see those videos. I understand that they were operating under orders from above, but deep in their guts, they must have been sick about what they were doing. Standing by and letting one group of people who will NOT fly the Canadian flag, dictating by intimidation, to another group who had no one to turn to because the OPP sat silent.
I can not imagine the trauma suffered by that family. They were stuck because noone would buy their property, not even Dalton who bought up the developers land pretty quick. So, why is the Crown fighting this? How is this couple less worthy of compensation than the developer? Why were they hung out to dry?
Well, I'm in a disadvantaged group,(HA) supposedly, because I'm a female. So, I should be allowed to carry a concealed weapon, be it pepper spray or a gun. I demand that my rights of self protection be heard. If no law covers it, so be it. I will just declare myself a Ukinchuk and demand my rights to self governance, flying a flag my 5 year old just made up. After all I have been in Canada all my life. This of course means I should be able to disobey any Canadian laws I want, because I have been here much longer than anyone younger than me.

The OPP has become even worse than the QPF. They are just McSlippery's private police force who should really be called the Ontario Gestapo. They have lost all respect and credibility.
Birthday greetings to Mr. Hunter, tomorrow. Hope you found the perfect gift. Enjoy your wine, waiting for FNF.
It was a pleasure to meet you MaryT, what you do is very important for our disabled. You are the typical Conservative woman, assess the situation, make a decision and care for your family. Liberals talk big, they promise big, and then they do nothing, like Kyoto.
Conservatives act and get things done.
