My understanding is that unless his home is an embassy he should not be flying the flag of another nation without the American flag also being flown. It annoyed me when my aunt and uncle flew the flag of Ireland with out also flying the US flag, so I've got nothing against Canada. (Throw the bums out Canada, btw and maybe we'll all be flying the Maple Leaf!)
As my brother said about my Aunt's flag, she should fly the "erin go bragh" flag or something like that, not the actual national flag of another country.

As the Canadian Military Liaison he has diplomatic status and his home by extension could be considered a diplomatic residence if I understand the rules correctly.
BTW: there was none of this while we were fighting the Cold war and the Federal Republic of Germany did exactly the same thing. Also the British Military Liaison flies the British flag with no problem. The problem is the low-lifes that have been tormenting him and his family.

In 1965, the then Commanding General[4 stars] of the First US Army stationed at Fort Jay, NY, ordered the Texas State flag to be flown below the American flag on the same pole.
It was a heck of a sight.

I don't know why he expect that he could get away with flying a Canadian flag in an American neighborhood. I don't condone the harassment but I do think what he is doing is inappropriate.
