Toronto City Council begins to tackle the problem of displaying the American Confederate Flag in public places today.
There was a confrontation at the Highland Creek Festival in Scarborough this past summer over a Confederate flag on a classic car like the one shown above. Ward 42 Councillor Nethan Shen is putting forth a motion calling on city staff to develop a clear policy of what symbols are acceptable on public property as well as an outright ban on displays of the Confederate Flag.
