There exists no legislation where burning the flag is a criminal action, under the Canadian Criminal Code or any other statue. As burning the flag is a mode by which an individual may destroy it, it follows that it is not illegal to destroy it. The Canadian flag may be a symbol of Canadian nationality, associated with pride and a unified nation, however it’s not against the law to disrespect, deface, and destroy it. It is legal to burn the Canadian Flag, in Canada.
