Giant Canada Flag Vandalized, Feb 19, 2010
VANCOUVER — A few protesters took their anti-Olympic message to the next level by vandalizing Hotel Georgia’s massive Canadian flag.
The $150,000 flag — which at 32-by-64 meters covers the 12-storey historic hotel — had the phrase “F U 2010” cut into it overnight on Friday.
Vancouver police have not received a criminal complaint but said charges of mischief over $5,000 and possibly break-and-enter could apply.
The hotel’s management company could not be reached for comment.
