It kind of strikes a nerve that here we are in our country, in our facility, proudly displaying their flag," one councillor, William Reilly, said when the idea to get rid of the flag was first proposed last week."We have an American flag that seems to be fixed in our community centre and we don't even have an Ontario provincial flag that's up even one day...  I don't think it has ear...
