The City of Mississauga has followed in Toronto’s footsteps by ending the practice of raising international flags at city hall to celebrate various holidays across the globe.
Previously, national flags for other countries could be hoisted on the flagpole in Mississauga, Ont., to celebrate heritage months and independence days.

The practice has now been ended, Mayor Carolyn Parrish said, with only charities and associations allowed to use the flagpole. That, according to the mayor, is what it was “originally intended” for.
“Our citizens come from all over the world, leaving conflicts to become Canadians,” Parrish wrote in a social media post after council approved the plan.

The Mayor of Mississauga did good job to get rid of international flag including Israelis flag.
The Country Canada should be respected as it should be to love for
Good Job Mayor of Mississauga.
As I am refugees and citizen Canadian ,it is not important to use other Country flag stationed at City Hall. We should adore and respect to have Canadian flat in our home. Canada is the best country to live and it should be respected.? Canada flag came from Canadian Martyrs.
Good Canada first
It’s time we have woken up but we have already become a sacrificial lamb and have been taken advantage of and most of all Our Flag has been insulted times n times again. Common sense is very expensive pls get rid of all the traitors Justin has bought for free and we seniors pay a price for getting old
Now your starting to wake up & smell whats been brewing ehhh…. remember, J.T didn’t speak for majority of real Canadians when he was babbling like only a spoiled little boy could about Canada being everybody’s….its not. Its a Christian country, built by and sacrificed in multiple wars by Christian men. So ya sure , u want to come here for a better opportunity for hard work like the Europeans did successfully all while having to deal with extreme discrimination and no ” committee’s” guiding them but still while never ever !! in 80 yrs paraded another nations flag in protest or dare ever burn or disrespect the Canadian flag for any reason !!!! That didn’t need to be explained in 10 different languages back then ……..it was understood by the universal language of decency & respect…..by Good God fearing immigrants….Its time to stop the manipulation of our systems and our ways . You dont like it ….theres the boat , good bye
Horrific journalist and journalism. Theyre not even going to mention which flag caused this issue? I will. Zionists from the apartheid and genocidal state of israel wanted the israeli flag flown in Canada, even after the IDF killed an unarmed Canadian aid worker Jacob Flickinger. Israel uses canadian made equip to kill civilians in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. Israel engages, coerces and solitics Canadians to join their IDF army against Canadian domestic laws. Again, the writer and editor of this article should be massively ashamed for their willful omissions regarding the ‘whys’ and ‘whos’ of this whole situation. Pathetic press..
