What’s your favourite Canadian provinces/territories flag and why ? (urban, family)

[UrbanLuis]

When I have traveled through the Northeastern US, I have seen the Puerto Rican flag more than anything.

Scroll down Contents to 3.5 if it doesn't go there.

The flags of Thunder Bay and Kawartha Lakes are cool. So are the Indigenous flags.

Yep, that's what I immediately thought. In Canada I'm digging Newfoundland's flag, the aesthetic seems to have Celtic and Viking traits.

and yes I can imagine, even with a stencil getting the outline of the sunshine on BC's flag could be quite the challenge, lol.

Maryland's flag looks like it belongs on a race track somewhere.

I love New Mexico's flag, bright yellow with the Zia sun and indigenous roots. It's a standout.

Flag of my home city is pretty good. Coat of Arms isn't too shabby either

There hasn't been much yet for the city's 50th anniversary but I am hoping something interesting comes up. I suggested to my ward city councillor that we should have some items made with the city's tartan (came about with the city's 25th anniversary)

OMG!! There are so many Tartans of Canada I couldn't get through them all. Beautiful - some are mind boggling. Thanks for posting that link.

As Zoisite said.

I didn't know Canada had so many.

Thanks

You have to look to the origin of Maryland. During the time after Henry VIII's reign, and after the Pope wouldn't grant him his 7th. divorce, the King made the Catholic Church illegal and converted it into the Church of England (today's Anglican Church). Some British Catholics refused to let go of their religion. In time, they were exiled to America under the leadership of Lord Calvert, an English Catholic, the second Lord Baltimore. They established a colony that was at the time totally Catholic, but still loyal to the British Crown. Their colonial flag, which remains as their state flag today, reflects their Catholic roots and is derived from the Calvert family crest.

Quebec. Most clean and distinct.

I like the Quebec flag, but if by clean you mean clean lines and simple in design, I'd give that to the Newfoundland flag.

As for distinct, I don't find it any more distinct than Newfoundland's, and especially Nunavut's flag.

Everytime some one says something positive about Quebec the usual posters come out to shoot them down.
