Canadian flag returned to Quebec legislature after being pulled for Fleur-de-lis, but maybe not for long


QUEBEC — The Canadian flag didn’t spend long in the closet. The Maple Leaf made its return to the ornate Red Room of the Quebec legislature today, less than 24 hours after it was pulled out as members of the pro-independence Parti Québécois took the oath of office. The red and white flag is back for the swearing-in of Quebec’s other main parties: Francois Legault’s Coalition and, later in the day, the Opposition Liberals.
Whether it remains there, in the long run, is another issue. The flag has been a political yo-yo over the years, bouncing in and out of the chamber depending on the party in power. It has never been present the previous times that the PQ has governed — although, this time, the party has only a minority.
