HALIFAX The news of more than 180 human remains found in unmarked graves near a residential school close to Cranbrook, B.C., only adds to the complicated mixture of feelings for Canadians this July 1.

Even so, residents at one Bedford condo building - who have been putting out Canadian flags every July 1st for the past several years – are doing the same thing this time around. About forty flags are draped on individual balconies in a show of national pride.
