TORONTO (August 18, 2005) - Every summer, thousands of Canadians travel to NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races across the United States.

The flag is always flow at half staff due to the location of Post Cemetary. This is one of four Cemetaries in the US where the flag is permanently flown at half mast. It is an old tradition.
False. There is no restriction on flying the Canadian national flag at night without illumination. Consider the fact that a large portion of Canada has continuous night for a considerable part of the year. In those isolated climes where it may not be practical to provide artificial illumination, what would we have them do? Of course if it is practical to do, it is not wrong to illuminate it, but the Canadian Heritage Department simply states that "The flag may be flown by night as well as by day."
There is Pearl Harbor, Arlington Memorial, and The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
When the flag is flown or placed upside down, this is a signal of distress. For this reason, it should not be flown in this position at any other time.
I cant think of a specific instance when the flag was flown upside down, but it is only done when a US position has been overrun or if there is an emergency there.A national flag flying upside down is an international sign of distress.
If a very important person such as a president or Taoiseach, or past holders of those offices or some other well known Irish person of great significance dies, the flag is flown at half mast as a mark of respect.
