Halifax they were all over the place, even a very large flag on the ferries.
We are going back this summer as well and will see if things have changed.
Yeah, I could have been clearer, and in fairness I didn't take into consideration how many cruise ships pass through Calgary harbour :P

Off the top of my head, I can't think of a pub that doesn't have a pride flag sticker on it. My local watering home has a huge flag next to the door.

I'm sure there's some cultural differences between here and Alberta.

We, on the whole, don't give a flying f*** if you're gay.

You want to develop downtown, and house the homeless? Now that'll divide us and have people ready to throw hands.

... we're an odd bunch.
