[PW] Re: a semi related flag question

Both or none. 
   
  There is no specific rule except that:
   
  4 U.S.C. § 1 (g) When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace. 
   
  It does not elaborate on what to do in times of war.

  Here's a semi-related question which my wife and I were wondering about when
we zipped across the US border to buy a Senseo coffee machine (which isn't
available in Canada) ... President Ford had just passed away and, of course,
all American flags were at half staff. But as folks may know, near the
Canadian border, many places will fly the US and Canadian flags side by side
... so some places had lowered the US flag, with the result that (in the
US) the Canadian flag was higher. What's the etiquette in that situation?
Should both flags be lowered?
