The mayor of a small Saskatchewan city is wondering if doing away with flag raisings is one way to avoid fights over whose flag gets to be raised.

It’s in the wake of a city council meeting on June 26 that saw passionate debate over whether the City of Estevan should raise a “straight pride” flag since the city had flown a pride flag in the past.
