We are going to CANADA for a bus rally.
I would like to know the proper way to fly our flag. Do I fly U.S.A. on top or CANADA on top .We only have one flag pole. Or can I fly just OLD GLORY ?
What about size? My AMERICAN flag is a 4x6ft. can I fly a 3x5ft. CANADA flag with ours?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE,
CLAUDIENE |

Here's some info for you, Claudiene:

Look for the section "With flags of other sovereign nations"

Ah-hmm..
"With Other National Flags:
When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to
be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags
should be of approximately equal size. International usage
forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of
another nation in time of peace. "
In Canada, the Canadian flag would be to the left of the
American flag, on a separate pole. In America, the American
flag would be to the left of the Canadian flag on a separate pole.
The use of flag etiquette is always a good thing when you're abroad.

In my opininion, to show class, only fly the Canadian flag while in Canada. They know where you are from!

It seems odd to fly someone else’s flag, especially if you do not fly your own. I fly the flag to show allegiance, pride, and patriotism. I bet the Canadians fly their flag at their embassies in the USA.

Canadians proudly fly their own flag in many of the parks I've been in. One on the south end of Sebring Florida is almost exclusively Canadian rigs, and they have multiple Canadian flags flying near the entrance on U.S. 27. ...JJ |

By all means Fly The Stars and Stripes. If you wish to also fly the Canadian flag they must be on separate standards and at same height. Rod
P.S. Do not fly flag after sundown un less light is shining on it. |

Only flag seen around these parts of the northern neighbour bear a striking resemblance to the Italian one....
Toronto, where there are more Italians than anywhere else outside Rome, and they all want you to know it!
Soccer game? What soccer game?

I'd have to say, fly YOUR flag, and no one elses. I can't say it's official or anything, but the flag you fly is signifying who you are.
I have a big American flag flying on my house. Sadly enough, my house is the only one in the community flying a flag at all.
Well, let me qualify that. Someone stuck little plastic flags in ALL the yards for the 4th of July. Each one had a little add taped to the stick. You'd think someone could try to be patriotic without trying to make a buck.
I'm so glad I'm moving. |
