That's not the only reason. Anyone who has served in missions and given their heart and soul for Canada would be disgusted to see someone burning our flag on television.
I'm sorry, but I take that very personally. I have sung O Canada on military bases. We saluted Jean Chrétien and saw nearly every minister. I saw Princess Anne in 2003. I've been to England four times. For a soldier, martial arts, allegiance and the flag are all sacred. If they weren't, we could be bought and we wouldn't go to war.
