If you’re a mayor or councillor, you better be careful the next time some advocacy group comes to you demanding that you raise their flag or make a proclamation in their honour. A local Palestinian group wants you to raise the Palestinian flag on Nov. 29, the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, despite your view that Palestine is not actually a country? Better shut up and ready your flagpole or you might owe them money. A local Scientology group wants you to proclaim March 13 as the wise L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday, despite your view that it’s a cult? Better sign that proclamation or you could be dinged for creed discrimination.
