An ex-serviceman refuses to take down the Canadian flag on his balcony in a subsidized housing unit in Cardinal, Ont., even though the local housing authority is threatening to evict him.

IMHO, the housing authority needs to put up a pole and fly the
flag. They also need to allow specific-date Canadian flag
display from balconies on such days as Victoria Day, Canada Day,
and Remembrance Day.
Letting one hang from an apartment all the time could come back
to bite them, if someone decides to hang another county's flag
from their balcony,( ie: during World Cup or some other "fiercely
nationalistic" event.)...or if those Rainbow Flags start showing up..

The Canadian flag should be allowed to fly anywhere. As long as it's tastefully done.

I am going on a limb here but the only reason he could be asked to take it down -> is if the flag was all frayed or bleached by the sun. Then it should be replaced, not taken down.

Otherwise, the landlord can go and fuck himself.

Agreed... our flag when flown and displayed properly should be allowed anywhere in Canada..
