Flying high for national flag day on Saturday

The Canadian flag flies above the federal building in Iqaluit on Friday. Although Saturday is National Flag of Canada Day, few Iqaluit businesses or residences had flags displayed prominently Friday. Flags also didn’t appear to be offered for sale at grocery stores. In a joint statement this week, Canada’s five surviving former prime ministers — Joe Clark, Kim Campbell, Jean Chretien, Paul Martin and Stephen Harper — urged Canadians to fly the flag on Saturday in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats against Canadian sovereignty.
