Courtesy flags should never be flown below another flag on the same

Leaf under the US Stars and Stripes (for example) would indicate that
the vessel was Canadian, but had been captured as a prize during an act
of war and was currently under the command of an American officer. It
is easy to understand just how our Canadian friends and neighbors might
take umbrage at such a display.



Tough - damn Canadians.

Great article Chuck.


Yes we are 'tough'... don't make me prove it!
