  • Happy Canada Day! I decided to grade Canada's provincial and territorial flags on a tier list.
    Can you spot the hidden diamond?

    ► † For whatever reason, it look literal hours to find a real SVG image of Ontario. If anyone knows where I can find simple SVG outlines of each province, please let me know.

      If I had to design a Albertan Flag i will a jagged edge on the left to represent the rockies a sand stripe in the bottom to represent the bad lands, a thin blue strip the Bow river a green strip to represent the heartland , another blue stripe Northern Saskatchewan River a black stripe to reprensent the tar sands and petrol in the north and finally a white strip to represent the snow. Also add a wild rose in the green stripe to complete the design.

    When it comes to the Québec flag, context matters. Duplessis, the most religiously traditionalist Premiere the province has had, wanted to symbolize two things: The French language and history with the fleur de lys, and its Catholic heritage with the white cross. I feel people don't mention the latter as much.

  • @serenedaoud

    As a young "monsieur" living in Quebec, I do admit that our flag is quite nice. If you are into Canada, I would recommend making a video on what would happen if "ze francais province"
    had successfully become a distinct nation when that was proposed back in the 80s . "Bonsoir!"

    Fun fact: Flags like New Brunswick's and PEI's (basically coat of arms but flag form) would be called a "banner of arms". Way better than the seal on blue my country America does often.

  • @statelyelms
    @statelyelms 10 місяців тому +5

    So, the PEI flag is a weird one. There's no official flag.. only a flag *design*. So the low-contrast bit is actually kind of luck of the draw. I once found a drawing of it so bad it looked like a kindergartener got their hands on some markers but it'd still be considered official. A good few provinces are like that too but they usually have an official SVG floating around.
    I fear you may have suffered from the classic vexiollogy pitfall that is judging on flag *designs* and not the flag doing its flag thing on a flagpole. New Brunswick's flag for example, at a distance, is still instantly recognizable because it simplifies down to a red-yellow-blue tricolour with a black-white charge.. so the business of the detailing actually doesn't matter nearly as much as it feels, staring at an SVG. BC's, I feel like the business wasn't planned (it's rays overlapping waves so it feels a little skee-whif) so it doesn't simplify down to an easily identified tricolour as well and is a little harsh, but I know people who love it for that too, so I guess it's just a personal taste.
    In all I think all us Canadians are super biased to our own provincial flags lmaoo. I loved this! Keep it up!

    Great video, but why isn't Nunavut's Flag S-Tier?!? Also, I think New Brunswick is a "magnificent Maryland" scenario and should be given an A (It's busy yet, distinct at a distance). I agree that my (Manitoba) flag is bad, but it's honest in that it shows we're still not free of our colonial history (still deserves D-tier though).
