Letters to the editor...Hemp flag not a disgrace to this Canadian

Dear editor, Re: July 7 letter, `National flag' upsets patriotic Canadian. You feel this is a disgrace to all Canadians? Speak for yourself. Our first flags were made from hemp and a lot of the supplies that helped our soldiers through the world wars were also made of hemp. Hemp is a great product that could actually benefit mankind in many ways if it wasn't outlawed by closedminded individuals such as yourself. I, for one, do not drink alcoholic beverages so to me the packaging on Molson's products is a much bigger disgrace to our maple leaf. Kevin Theodoropolus, Georgetown
