Rightly or wrongly, symbols can change over the years, and often times it's hard to recover their original meeting. The Swastika used to have a totally different connotation as well, and good luck trying to use that one without unleashing a beast.

I would imagine the people in Alberta are not flying it for southern pride or any personal civil-war reason, because unless there are a lot of Southern transplants, that just doesn't make sense.
