A significant portion of the American population views flag desecration as unacceptable. A 2020 Yugo Paul found that 49% of Americans believe burning or intentionally destroying the US flag should be illegal while only 34% think it should be legal. I don’t understand why in Canada we should allow it when so, so many people in our neighbours country would feel the same. Flag burning can provoke strong, emotional responses and act which may be seen as in excitement which is not protected under free speech in certain context.

This isn't an evidence based question it is simply that there are much better ways of expressing your opinion
@9GZ759V1yr1Y
No you are unable too, most men and women have fought for your rights so don’t mess with our flag. Should not be illegal but she get a fine .

Government is totally having a right to put person under penalty as we truly love Canada and if we are living here we should respect those rules
@9JPQCBF1yr1Y
Burning the flag has no significant consequences, it is just the burning of material. Regardless of if one detests the action it should be protected as freedom of expression in a democracy.

Burning the Canadian flag is very disrespectful. There should be jail time and a very large fine and community service for burning the Canadian flag. If an immigrant burns Canadian flag, jail and fine then deportation.
@9FJ79K92yrs2Y
Why? Why should it matter? Canadian patriotism is sickening, and if people want to show their distaste for their country, let them. Most people who would burn the Canadian flag likely don't even mean anything by it and simply wish to provoke by pressing people's buttons.
