Hi Joe:  Thank you for your reflections on Canada Day.  My husband
has said that if someone placed a Canadian Flag in the middle of the
sidewalk on a busy Toronto street and stomped on it people would    
probably just quitely walk by and think that the person was a bit       
deranged. If a similar situation happened in a busy sidewalk in the    
U.S.A. it would probably cause a riot!  Have a Happy July 1st  Peggy
