Hey, guess what, I flew the Stars and Stripes on July 4. Many Kingstonians do. I don't know if it is because we are so close to the border, or because we are, in spite of differences of opinion, good neighbours.

Maybe next July 1, you can fly the Maple Leaf.

Could that have anything to do with the fact that there was a huge American airforce base there during the war?

No, it's got more to do with it being George Washington's ancestral home.

Re: Fly The Flag
Just noticed yesterday that the Union Jack is flying from Kingston City Hall, Royal Military College, Fort Henry, and CFB/BFC Kingston.
