Flag burning

This post isn't actually about the politics of flag burning, but rather an amusing incident concerning a flag burning. Back at about the time that Canada began to expand civil liberties for gays, the church that runs the "God hates fags" website sent members of its congregation northward, to demonstrate in front of the Supreme Court building in Ottawa.

One angry protester tried to burn a Canadian flag, but wasn't having much luck. So a helpful RCMP officer (the Red mounties), worried the protester would injure himself, helped the fellow ignite his flag. Now that's a gracious host, eh? ;-)
