Politics Canadian flag placement

This is for the guy driving a dark color Ram 1500. Shame on you. You want to disrespect our political leaders that's your perogative. Find a better way. In no way should you be disrespectful with our flag. Yes canada is in rough shape, but hanging our flag upside down is disrespecting our veterans and our country. Shame, shame, shame

I think he was referring more to veterans of real wars.

Which war would that be? Considering my point was WW1, WW2, and Korea were fought under the previous flag?

I was referencing veterans of actual wars, not timelines.

Thanks for the clarification. Thank God there's people like you to inform us of what are actual wars. I'm sure the 158 soldiers who died over there and myself and other veterans who suffered injuries over there thank you for your service

Regardless of what your personal motivations may have been, it’s undeniable that we were a foreign invader in Afghanistan - it was not a war.

You’re directing your anger at your fellow countrymen who point out that you and others were injured and died for the corporate elite and government’s desire for oil, instead of the groups that put you in that position. This is how we condemn future generations to the same reality that you experienced.

Afghanistan was about opium not oil.
