Canadian Flags




CANADIAN FLAGS - THE RANKING



#13 Alberta - I got a lot of love for the Berties, but this flag is borrrrrring.




#12 (tie) Manitoba and Ontario - Jeez, guys; do you call each other before you get dressed for work, too? Suuuuure, they're independent. That isn't a Union Jack.... (I was going to give Manny slightly more credit, for the Buffalo, but they came up with their flag later, which brings them back into a tie.)




#10 Nova Scotia - Maybe if the Lion thingy were bigger....like Godric Gryffindor!




#9 Saskatchewan - This is a fairly simple flag, but there is something elegant about the austerity, n'est pas?




#8 Newfoundland and Labrador - This isn't a tie, these two provinces are just "together," if you know what I mean. I like how they use negative space to trick you into thinking it's one of those pennant flags instead.




#7 Quebec - In case anyone forgets, they're actually French, they have the fleur de lis four times! Too bad it's pretty.




#6 Prince Edward Island - On the plus side, symbolic trees and a lion. On the minus side, that lion ain't right!




#5 Yukon - Hey, you put a husky on the top of your crest, you get ranked #5 too!




#4 Northwest Territories - What is that cat thing? Is it a wolf? A Bear? A spirit guide from Dungeons and Dragons? I could spend hours thinking about it.




#3 British Columbia - I know it's a Union Jack, with a crown, no less, but look at that sun!!!!!




#2 New Brunswick - Okay, this time the long-ass lion looks dangerous rather than pervy, and that ship is definitely going place. (Not on the flag--it just sits there--but in my head.)


and the number one flag of Canada.....




#1 Nunavut - When it comes to flying your colors, I have one inviolable rule: "there is no flag that cannot be improved by a phallic knife." Amen and back off, or I'll cut you!
