Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says Canadian flags should not be removed and replaced with other flags, after he was asked about a school’s decision to fly a Pride flag in place of the national flag during the month of June.
“When I’m prime minister, we will fly the Canadian flag everywhere and always. We should never take down the Canadian flag for any reason. We have to be united now more than ever,” Poilievre told reporters in Vancouver on June 19.
