This channel is amazing. As a former resident of both Wabush and Labrador city, I really love that you tend to focus on the history of smaller Canadian towns that the majority of people overlook. Keep it up and I can’t wait for episodes 2 and 3!
Thank you for the super encouraging words! I do like to point out the smaller towns. Very cool you were a resident of Wabush/Labrador City! :D Thank you again.
Thank you and thank you for sharing. I got to talk to a few people from Labrador and Wabush for this video and they were extremely nice. I hope to visit someday. Thank you again for the kind words and confirmation. :)
3:23 I think it is plausible that the white cross on blue background is related to the one on the former french naval ensign, where flags like Québec's and former Martinique's are derived from (both of which even share the same pattern with a charge repeated on all four quarters). It would thus certainly be a Saint Michel's cross, a symbol originally used by the french as an "antagonist" to the english red on white Saint Georges' cross during the Hundred Years' War, and the blue color would then rather stand for the french kingdom (or Virgin Mary according to some).
The stylized L on Laval’s flag was the logo of the Laval Voisins hockey team. The Voisins played in the 1970’s and 1980’s, and the legendary Mario Lemieux played for them
That is great information! Thank you so much for sharing! There are some things only locals would know and this is an awesome example of that! Thank you for watching and commenting.
I look forward to the next video in the flag series. A big thumbs up to Canada. You always make your videos fun informative and interesting. Nicely done
No one can ever take that away from ya. :D A million does seem unlikely though, lol. I've lost subscribers from this video for some reason. 14 of them. I don't know why?
No joke, it is honestly one of my goals to someday have someone comment that their town or house was in the intro part of my videos. That's why each one starts out at a different random location, lol!
Thank you. I noticed that after the video was made and was hoping people would just assume it was a transition into the next city. lol! But you are right, I was mistaken originally.
I wonder if the Commonwealth nations follow the rules of British heraldry. Such rules, when properly used, lead to good designs in both arms and flags.
Yes and no. Towns and cities of course can do whatever they want on a flag, but for Canada especially, if they was a heraldic symbol officially, they need to apply through the Canadian Heraldic Authority, who appears a lot in this video series. The standards the CHA follows are based on English heraldic symbolism, but they do things their own way as well.
I might do that someday. I was researching it a few months ago and it looks like 98% of the flags are just a city seal on the flag, but there might be some fun history to them. :)
Thank you! I am going to start narrowing things down because they have become too long and take too much time to make. Episode five should show this. :)

Yes, I was born in Labrador City and Labradorian is a term we use. Also, great to hear the Ode to Newfoundland in the background. Great job.

Great analysis! That could be possible! I didn't even think of that. Thanks for sharing that.

I lived in Montague just a year ago. Never thought I would ever hear us mentioned by anyone!
Cool video!
Thank you!
When you reach 1 million subscribers i can say i was number 2000

@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo oh that is weird
I live in windsor ontario, it is 12:30 for me
@@nautilus5400 That's late! I'm off to bed myself. Night.
7:51 “Canadian Federation”?
Fun stuff and interesting.
Atleast one person from the town at the start of the video is gonna see this and be like
“Ayo what that’s my house”
No joke, it is honestly one of my goals to someday have someone comment that their town or house was in the intro part of my videos. That's why each one starts out at a different random location, lol!
looking forward to part 2
Thank you! Working on it now.
University of Laval is in Quebec City not Laval. They're named after a historical figure.

@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo I see, interesting. Thank you.
You should do Flags Of Mexican Citys
I might do that someday. I was researching it a few months ago and it looks like 98% of the flags are just a city seal on the flag, but there might be some fun history to them. :)
I think you should make it simpler with just basic this is that and some critiques
Thank you! I am going to start narrowing things down because they have become too long and take too much time to make. Episode five should show this. :)
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo yeah, currently i like henereye's videos but he doesn't upload those videos any more
... You forgot the Montreal Flag...
Didn't forget. I mention Montreal's it near the end of this video. As always, stay tuned for future episodes where we go over more city flags!
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo oh sorry then
Well, also a fish represents Jesus. I think white represents Easter and Blue represents the glorious Mother of God, Mary
If you are referring to the Fortuna flag, that might be possible also! The history is a bit fuzzy.
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo yes
calgary looks like arbys
France is canada
Charlotte, North Carolina USA
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte,_North_Carolina
What about Charlotte?
@@AJMSTUDIOSvideo It's another Town in North America named after King George III's Consort.
@@StephEWaterstram You are right. I have two episodes on the US East Coast and cover some towns in the Carolina's, but have yet to cover Charlotte.
Cool video!
