Amazing how we get on edge over things we have no control over and are meaningless. aperently quebecers think this is a slight on them by the chinese and also canada. ITS a communist REGIME that does what it wants and it doesn't want tibet flags raised so it made a rule. That simple. Suck it up and enjoy the games or don't watch, its your choice. Its not about the flags.

It's a flag! Not a vote for separation! Read the freakin topic before screaming how racist you are! I don't care if I see an athlete from BC waving the BC flag...We previously saw a flag from saskatchewan at the OG of Sydney and I don't think any old canadian racist did cry. Same thing if the flag is the Quebec one.

NO!!! Olympics are for sports, not politics. This is not the forum. Go cry somewhere else.

Quebec needs to feel oppressed to be happy, stop moaning and leave. By the way im a scot i dont see why i would fly st andrews cross when were competing as britain. The french are the same in europe, they rip everyone off.

Plain and simple, NO! This is Canada and they are a Province of Canada. I don't see some American athlete wanting to carry a flag form the State he/she is from, they carry thier American flag.

Instead of feeding thier push to always disrupt events and trying keep themselves separate from Canada and publishing this anti-social political prejudice, maybe we should start really looking at how the Government waste funds on petty issues. As a Canadian, i am really disgraced that we do not have a single medal yet as of this post. If we would start funding and supporting our athletes properly, then they could get the training, equipment and facilities so we can once again be a dominant medal contending nation.

We spend milliions of dollars on stop smoking campaigns and hide the smokes to discourage buying them because it is supposed to be better for our health, it is discriminating, biased and prejudice against people who wish to smoke. Well i don't see stop eating chips, candy bars and other junk food that has apparently lead to an obese society and yes lets not forget about what a hazard it is also for certain Diabetics. I have not noticed any campaign saying we should hide all of that stuff to deter people from buying it. It we would start acting like the Country we once were and actually look at our Charter, what happend to our right of choice. This is Canada people, WAKE UP!!!

If they want to carry their own flag, then they should get their own country. They live in Canada, carry the Canadian Flag. If they do not like it, leave!!!!

I agree if the press would stop giving them attention, it would blow over.
