The mayor of Summerland, B.C., says she has met with a man from Alberta who displayed a Confederate flag at an anti-racism rally on Thursday. "He was waving to me and pointing to something, and it was the Confederate flag," Singh said. "I asked him if he understood what the Confederate flag means to people that look like me," Boot said. As for how he ended up at the rally, Boot says he claimed his girlfriend had told him about it. Boot says she didn't believe him, but she wanted to use the conversation as an opportunity to discuss the incident.
