10 h. ago Town in Ontario decides to stop flying U.S. flags at its buildings amid tariff talk

West Lincoln, Ontario may be a town of just 15,000 or so people, but the tiny Niagara Region municipality has put itself on the map this week by taking a symbolic stand against U.S. President Donald Trump's recent hostility toward Canada.A Monday night vote by local council — in which all members sided unanimously — determined that the border area town will no longer display American flags at institutions like its community centre, where the star spangled banner has hung alongside the Canadian flag for a number of years now."I feel disrespected by our American neighbours. 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...

Amid an extremely tense political moment between Americans and Canadians, one U.S. couple's simple gesture of kindness is serving as a reminder that there is still a sense of camaraderie and solidarity between people across the two nations, tariff threats be damned.The guests, named Bill and Sara, were dining at the Toast restaurant in Windsor on Saturday, which lies just over the border from their home in Michigan.Given the present political climate — from Trump's plan for economically devastating tariffs on Canadian goods to him repeatedly and earnestly suggesting our country become the 51st American state — the couple thought it was fitting to extend some sort of olive branch while visiting the Ontario town.So, they decided to cover the bill of every other person eating at the busy establishment at the time.
