TABER, ALTA.—Police in a small southern Alberta town are treating the burning of a rainbow Pride flag as an arson case. Taber Police Chief Graham Abela says someone used fuel to light a flagpole on fire Saturday and the flames spread to the flag. Organizers of Taber’s first Pride event plan to raise a third rainbow flag. The first flag raised earlier this month was stolen. In a statement, the town says it is disappointed with the vandalism and is working with the police investigation.
