And I have never heard of people being stopped from making reasonable changes to their land in Canada. Read the key word, REASONABLE. A flagpole is reasonable.

The question isn't about reason, it is about making changes to land YOU DO NOT OWN.

What are you having difficulty understanding?

You forgot another key word, THEIR. It isn't this guy's land. He made the change to someone else's land. I didn't phrase the question that way accidentally.

Oh, i understand that, my point was for a home you own, on your own land. Condo's are another story, and if you scroll back through the thread, you'll see where I said that I understood you do not own the land your condo is on.

Well, in this case, its a condo, so the property belongs to whoever developed/owns the condo's.

My comments are about HOA's in general, not condos.

I would never own a condo just for these reasons, its never really yours...

Accept it or dont, we are very, very different from the USA. And we dont want to be anything like you guys...

Ok the subject is changing a little here...let me back up...

...and I called BS about all Canadians having the same thought on this subject or all Americans...I'm talking about on this subject of flagpoles and HOA's.

You and PC aren't even agreeing and many Americans don't agree ON THIS SUBJECT either...so it's not a north and south of the border thing as I see it.

Yes I agree that our nations may have a different attitude about things in general but I'm talking about the topic of this thread only.

No worries.... If I wasnt sick with the fucking flu, I wouldnt be here arguing anyway

And, this might not piss me off so much if the guy wasnt an aging war vet

Give me a break man. The guy fought in three wars and won the goddamn Medal of Honor. He's got more courage in one 90 year old shriveled testicle than 98% of the population. When someone goes to that length to fight for America you let him have a flagpole to display the American flag the right way.

Sure, we get it, the HOA is in the legal right. But they fail at basic decency and common sense.
