Ever since I've been back in Calgary for the summer, I've been noticing a lot of US confederate flags being flown. Sometimes a huge one draped all over the back window of a truck. Anyone know what exactly the flag stands for and what it represents? I get the sense that racial connotations are involved since we're not exactly a southern US state... and flying it here doesn't seem to have any historical connection with the area.
