In the article I read (G&M) they were talking about people in an anti-war march giving them the finger, dragging a US flag through the street before torching it, etc. Nothing about assaulting the bus. Taking a look at the WND article, I don't see anything there about assaulting the bus either.

Engaging in a little creative embellishment there?

You also have to realise that burning flags has a long and honourable history in Montreal; the number of times I've seen the *Canadian* flag get burned in Montreal is pretty high.

BTW- George Wannan sounds like a real idiot; as you said, Beverly is in Ontario. Perhaps he's from Belleville. Maybe Sault Ste. Marie.
