In the case of the Confederate flag, it wasn’t OK to a lot of people. This is no different. Someone took exception to the desecration of the flag and took it down.

Lesson needed on respecting the flag

I write to ask why the Edmonton Journal does not provide more information regarding the correct protocol for our national flag, in this recent Pride flag issue.

The Pride community can certainly fly their Rainbow Pride flag at will but “marking,” defacing or changing our Canadian Flag in any way is not allowed.

This was a teachable moment that has been ignored. Every student, teacher, principal, journalist and all Albertans need to know and respect the constraints on using our national Flag.

Use this opportunity to educate your readers as to the protocol regarding the Canadian Flag. Also provide some historical details, so that Albertans and Canadians can truly appreciate Canada’s 150th celebration, with some understanding of what our freedoms have cost us.

Politicians must represent everyone

Hey PCs and Wildrose, you are in office to serve the people — all the people. If you are unable to do so, go work in a church.

Dandy way to back the Eskimos

What a great opportunity to show support for our Edmonton Eskimos.

Just as we did for the Edmonton Oilers when we dressed and decorated our fair city in orange and blue, so now do we adorn our fields in the green and gold of grass and dandelions. Go Eskimos!

Mark Edwards, Edmonton
