This 'riot' you are speaking of is generally known as the Oka crisis and there are two very well known pictures that stick to your description:

a) Pte. Patrick Cloutier of the 22e staring Brad 'Freddy Krueger' Larocque each other in the white of the eyes; and

b) Ronald 'Lasagne' (or 'Lasagna') Cross staring at a Van Doo, with media all around them

Google is your friend: both and be found easily by googling the following words: 'Pte. Patrick Cloutier' 'Ronald Lasagne' 'Oka Crisis' etc. Or, if too lazy to google it yourself, both can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oka_Crisis.

As for the picture relating to the friendly fire incident, I can't help you.

I still don't. Google is your friend, not mine.

Yeah.. but if you try to google

riot in the 1990's with a Canadian guy

which is pretty much his description...  funny how you might not get the result.

Step 1. Go on google, find what the "riot" was about.
Step 2. Go on wikipedia, find the article about the "riot." If the picture isn't there, go back to google.
Step 3. Get the exact picture you want.

The description of the flag position should be half mast, NOT mass.
