Walter Fallica, 62, explains his side of an altercation he had with the Brookridge Country Club over the height of a Canadian flag. (He was wrong of course).

Take a cruise down Hwy 301 (Bradenton, Ellenton, Parish) and count the number of Canadian Flags flying from the numerous mobile home parks.
Fly your flag and be proud of it.....
I'm proud of my country and fly my flag regardless of where we are.

The problem is that politics is such a touchy subject, one never knows where they stand.
As an American, I wouldn't think of flying my flag in your country. I would respect your flag, and not put mine up.

Fly your flag, and thank you for what your country did for our embassy personnel who were not at the embassy when it was overran and seized by militants in Iran! We often forget the debt we owe Canada for protecting our personnel on November 4, 1979!!! They put themselves in very grave danger to protect our U.S. embassy personnel. Thank you cause I was also in a embassy that day, be it a different country.

It is actually improper to fly the US flag above the Canadian flag. If flow together, they are supposed to be flown at the same elevation.
I can't imagine why anyone would take offense, but I guess there are knuckle draggars out there.

Like in boating, you always fly the flag of the nation you're visiting in a dominate way. Your own flag of origin will then be allowed to be flown under that or after it (i.e. left to right)
If I was from Canada, I would be proud to fly the flag also. You've been recently rated as one of the top 5 countries to live in (way ahead of the USA.) Based on health care, economy, govenment, and safety.

99% of the people arent going to have any problems with you flying the Canadian flag down in Florida,hopefully there isnt a 1%er in the park who is miserable enough to make an issue of it,If there is you wont have the opportunity to offer him a beer as he will complain to park management rather than confront you with his problem.

The Canadian flag is welcome in Fla.
What floridians don't care for are attitudes best left home.
The number one rule is....No one cares how they do something better up north.
Number two....Be very polite and patient. Yes, say Sir and M'am. Do not get testy if service is slow.
Unless of course your on the SE coast. That area is more ex NYer than florida. Rude is the norm down there.

I take it you are just letting us know where you are from, not like you are trying to take over the country or anything. 
Course, if I am down at Gulf Shores and can't find a campsite for a few days during the holidays I might have a different opinion. But then I lump everyone that has a out of state tag in that lolol
