Resident asks that American flag be removed from municipal buildings and parks

Yesterday I took a nice walk along our beautiful riverfront.I was disappointed to see the American flag still flying next to our Maple Leaf.A have had great respect for our American neighbours. I’ve visited Detroit many times, golfed at Myrtle Beach golf courses and enjoyed the amenities and attractions in Florida, Tennessee, California and others.In all these places, I have yet to encounter a city that has flown our flag at their municipal buildings or parks.Aside from the fact that Detroit is across the river, I have never seen a reason to be flying the American flag in Canadian cities and towns for that reason alone, so now, in these times when their President shows us no respect at all, I fail to see why we are still flying their flag.This is no disrespect to the American people, although since they did elect him, many must be supportive of his disrespect or don’t care.I urge council to take down the American flag at all municipal buildings and parks.At the very least until the respect we deserve is once again shown.

This request has been sent to the mayor and council. 

I urge other same minded citizens to do same and make your views known. 

Already I have gotten response from one councillor, hopefully I’ll get from mayor and others. Thank you.Respectfully,

—Frank Klein
