"I would have this flag thrown back at me, thrown in my face. It would be an insult for me to give this flag to any community group. This is shameful, embarrassing, pathetic, rude, insulting."
Flying Colours International, a family-owned Toronto company in business for 99 years, supplied the Legislature with the flags for 12 years. But the company lost the bid for a three-year contract in December 2007, said Edward McLean, of at Flying Colours, which employs 70 to 100 people.
