Canadian Cops Arrest Man for Burning Iranian Flag - Burning the Canadian flag is however legal.

Burning the Canadian flag is legal. Completely legal.

A planned law that would’ve mandated the flying of the Ontario flag at all provincial buildings and banned the desecration of the Canadian flag has been scuttled by the Ford government, Global News has learned, after members of the Progressive Conservative caucus questioned the necessity of the bill. Multiple sources told Global News the proposal, spearheaded as part of a patriotism push by Minister of Citizenship and Multiculturalism Graham McGregor, would have potentially violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and may have faced court challenges.

But the Iranian flag is another matter. As usual.

After an Islamic hate rally known as Al Quds, the heroes of the Toronto police service didn’t arrest any members of the Muslim hate mob… including one who seemed to be threatening violence.

But they did arrest two Persian counterprotesters for various acts including… in the words of a police force almost as compromised as the London Met police, “the accused was then observed to be lighting an Islamic Republic of Iran flag on fire and wearing Islamic Republic of Iran flags attached to the soles of his shoes”.

What’s interesting is that these are the only ‘crimes’ that could justify the Toronto Sharia police’s charges of “public Incitement of Hatred”.

Hatred against what? The two men are Iranian. So this can’t be hatred based on ethnicity. So according to the Toronto police, protesting against the Islamic Republic of Iran is itself a hate crime.

Burning the Canadian maple leaf flag is legal so long as you burn it in the fall with all the other leaves ...

This is what happens when you live in fear of everyone but the citizenry you are supposed to protect.

It’s hard to tell the difference between Canada and the Soviet Union these days.
