*BEFORE YOU COMMENT* I'm already well aware the CGP Grey has his own video looking at Canada's flags. Before you comment about this, remember that this video was published long before Grey's video was even announced.
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.
Fun fact: for British Columbia, the sun part was originally on top of the flag but the British liked the "sun never sets on the British Empire" thing and swapped it (learned it while visiting parliament in Victoria)
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!"
Me, a Nova Scotian with Scottish ancestry: Hehe the flag represents me and it’s epic. Even random TH-camrs say it. Side note, why have I seen so many Albertan TH-camrs? They make up so much of the Canadian TH-camrs that I see for some reason.
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.
The B.C. flag is very split between people, either you think it''s bad or you think is great, i for one thinks it's great, i see where you're coming from, but still it's called Beautiful British Columbia for a reason, i think this flag is amazing, i don't know maybe i just like how the colours look.
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!
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.
British Columbia and Nova Scotia each took their Coat of Arms and expanded them into full flags. It worked for Nova Scotia due to having the Scottish flag as a direct reference for comparison, but the British Columbia Coat of Arms looks very stretched out when it got turned into a flag.
Former member of CGP Grey's Patreon here, I think you do know about his exclusive Canadian Flag video he uploaded after this. There were actually some surprising differences and similarities in opinions but your video is totally worth watching on it's own! You're criminally unrated 👍
I like the Red Ensign, but Ontario and Manitoba could have done better. I don't really care for my provincial flag of Alberta, but the design is balanced and original.
Here’s a great idea: Ranking of the former U.S.S.R.’s Soviet Socialist Republics Flags & the modern independent flags. (eg. Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan etc.)
Le drapeau québécois n'a pas que l'apparence et la viabilité d'un drapeau de pays, il E S T un drapeau de pays. Monsieur le président, je n'ai que ça à dire.
I feel like putting Yukon lower than Northwest Territories is not the best move. In my opinion at least. The thing is, Yukon is worse in terms of simplicity, but... They are much more distinct than Northwest territories with a green stripe. Gotta at least put on tier.
A bit late but here is my tier list :) S: Nunavut, Quebec, Nova Scotia A: Northwest Territories B: Saskatchewan, Alberta C: Newfoundland & Labrador D: Yukon, New Brunswick, British Colombia F: Manitoba, Ontario, Prince Edward Island
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).
i hate Quebec but i would still give there flag B. Yukon i still think is S because the colors are nice. also i don't believe in the "simple" rule (because flag rules don't legally exist), but i think it stull should not be to busy.
I would NOT put Newfoundland in S 😂, Nunavut should be in S 100%, and Yukon is gorgeous, green white and blue vertical bands is a pallet I've never seen anywhere else, and having been up there, when it's flying in the wind, it looks utterly glorious. S.
Am I the only person realizing that this guy's eyes and mouth look like Brawl of the Objects assets? (EDIT: I just went to the channel page, now i know the reason behind the name and design of the channel.)
"BC is the westernmost province" I would say "Yukon extends further west", but I guess its far enough north that that might mess with the sunset times, so I'm gonna let it slide
As a Vancouverite (Vancouver is a city in British Columbia in case anyone didn’t know) I can confirm while I am pretty patriotic about the BC flag, I will say it’s a bit too busy for my liking 😅
Okay I am from British Columbia and we added that crown you said you hate which is making it stand out and take off your mind on the Union Jack flag but the crown represents the royal family because bc is really royal to uk
Definitely wouldn't put Newfoundland in S. Yeah, the symbolism is creative but it looks pretty weird. Make Nunavut S tier and Newfoundland A tier then it works for me.
The Alberta flag rating is definitely biased. It’s only *slightly* better than the Ontario and Manitoba flags. But still D tier. Also, how are the Yukon and NWT flags so high? They should be in the F tier with the PEI flag, both are terrible. I mostly agree with everything else though

Could be worst imagine the Brittish Union Flag over the Columbian Flag (half Yellow Stripe,Quarter Red Stripe, Quarter Blue Stripe) !
As a Quebecian thank you for putting us in s tier support from canada🙏🇨🇦❤️
Sorry but I thought it was quebexican
its actually quebecker@@joeypescado7300
Quebecian?🤪That's the first time I've heard that.
Quebecian = Half Quebecer - Half-Canadian 😉?

Him: Come on Manitoba, you could've done _so_ much better.
French Manitoban flag: Am I a joke to you?
Fair enough to an extent in my opinion. Good job and good luck on your channel! You definitely deserve wayyyyy more subs.
As a fellow Albertan i love this

Also greetings fellow Albertan! Which hockey team is your favourite?
Thank you! Let the records show that this video was published before his exclusive was even announced.
@@redshyguynumber5567 why former tho did you just decide to cancel?
@@paintdudeIWP I specifically got a month's membership to watch the Canadian Flags video.
@@redshyguynumber5567 what was his s tier flags? if you dont wanna say i get it
Such a cool video. If only all flags were this good... :)
oh my dear god THIS DUDE NEEDS MORE ATTENTION
Amazing Vid.
Also i just noticed. 666 Subs.
The USA flags are haunted with the seal-on-blue and Canada has the red background with the UK flag on the corner with the seal on it
Always easier to get a s tier flag when it used to be a country
I like the Red Ensign, but Ontario and Manitoba could have done better. I don't really care for my provincial flag of Alberta, but the design is balanced and original.
As a person who lives in PEI, I understand how you see this flag as dogwater. I see it too.
Putting Albert’s above BC was a mistake (I’m from Vancouver)

Quebec is 100% the best and I'm not even trying to be bias, Saskatchewan is my #2 however
Hi, Im For Yukon
In the future I think your going to Have thousands of subs so I want to say I’m the 538 one and leave this comment here
I feel like putting Yukon lower than Northwest Territories is not the best move. In my opinion at least.
The thing is, Yukon is worse in terms of simplicity, but... They are much more distinct than Northwest territories with a green stripe. Gotta at least put on tier.
“looked up at close” bro had a stroke 💀
A bit late but here is my tier list :)
S: Nunavut, Quebec, Nova Scotia
A: Northwest Territories
B: Saskatchewan, Alberta
C: Newfoundland & Labrador
D: Yukon, New Brunswick, British Colombia
F: Manitoba, Ontario, Prince Edward Island
wonder why you placed newfound and labrador so low. its like a new mexico, so simplistic and beautiful
@@jenkaah I will say, there is quite a gap between C and D for my ranking. It’s not a horrible flag per say, just my honest rank 😅
@@619WWEFAN ohh i see, sure then
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).
I was really tempted to put Nunavut in S tier, but I guess I settled for A.
Newfoundland land is a w not gonna lie
Excellent ranking but I would switch the position of the Newfie with the Nunavut flag
Agreed, the Nunavut flag is so incredibly distinct and quite beautiful. Newfoundland's is visually interesting for sure but also kind of confusing.
@@asdkotable It's actually the flag of Newfoundland & Labrador. The Newfoundland Flag is the Green-White-Pink Tricolor. (Simple and beautiful).
Your really good why do you have such few subs
I wish Nova Scotia was In s but hey I’ll take a May
New Foundland and Labrador is probably my favourite non-country flag, if not favourite any flag at all)
Is that agent from animator vs animation?
What The Flip Is A STATE 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Plz come back
that croun IS BEAUTEFUL
Im the most bias person ever and i love the new Brunswick flag
Bro my province is newfoundland thank you
How dare you put my home province’s Ontario’s flag in D Tier 😭😭😭😭😭
Québec got its W lets goo
WHERE HAVE YA BEEN???
they should really improve bc's(my home province)flag
As someone from Burnaby, (a city in BC) i despise our flag 😂
Have you see my city Flag (Laval, QC) WE put our name on the flag (It's an automatic Failled)
Please make more videos
all the Canadian flags meet my "European taste"... except perhaps the Prince Edward Island one for the choice of colors
bro nunavut is ezi S tier
blud predicted the future
yo fellow albertan! greetings from calgary
i hate Quebec but i would still give there flag B. Yukon i still think is S because the colors are nice. also i don't believe in the "simple" rule (because flag rules don't legally exist), but i think it stull should not be to busy.
Fellow Albertan, may I ask WHAT THE HELL IS A SASKATCHEWAN YOU MEAN EAST ALBERTA?????
Are your face assets the same ones from Brawl Of The Objects? (Your name is literally BOT.O lol)
Dude, PEI is at least C tier or B tier!
As someone who appreciates tradition I actually really love the Ontario flag. It’s looks a lot better than Yukon’s and NWT’s in my opinion
as a british columbian i can say our flag is bad
My favorite Canadian Flag is the Nunavut Flag so I disagree with the A tier. It should be S Tier.
Quebec F, the flag is good, but I'm too much on an Ontarian to admit that
I♡CANADA
I would NOT put Newfoundland in S 😂, Nunavut should be in S 100%, and Yukon is gorgeous, green white and blue vertical bands is a pallet I've never seen anywhere else, and having been up there, when it's flying in the wind, it looks utterly glorious. S.
Brawl of the objects looking face
This video feels like another video
Am I the only person realizing that this guy's eyes and mouth look like Brawl of the Objects assets?
(EDIT: I just went to the channel page, now i know the reason behind the name and design of the channel.)
Do city's next of canadas
"BC is the westernmost province"
I would say "Yukon extends further west", but I guess its far enough north that that might mess with the sunset times, so I'm gonna let it slide
The Yukon is a territory, which is distinct from the provinces.
Hey, When you become famous.. Will you remember me?
As a Vancouverite (Vancouver is a city in British Columbia in case anyone didn’t know) I can confirm while I am pretty patriotic about the BC flag, I will say it’s a bit too busy for my liking 😅
I think everyone knows where Vancouver is lmao
(Also, somewhat random guess, are you that same person behind Brawl of the Objects?)
The art style is literally the same. Its not bad though
Québec 💙
Why did you do TERRIBLE music for Prince Edward Island?
Cgp grey actually has this video
You used the wrong image for the PEI flag. There's no white left margin.
Why does the lip sync look like the brawl of the objects
Okay I am from British Columbia and we added that crown you said you hate which is making it stand out and take off your mind on the Union Jack flag but the crown represents the royal family because bc is really royal to uk
Definitely wouldn't put Newfoundland in S. Yeah, the symbolism is creative but it looks pretty weird.
Make Nunavut S tier and Newfoundland A tier then it works for me.
Pls do with Brazil states because CDP gray copy your video
The Alberta flag rating is definitely biased. It’s only *slightly* better than the Ontario and Manitoba flags. But still D tier. Also, how are the Yukon and NWT flags so high? They should be in the F tier with the PEI flag, both are terrible. I mostly agree with everything else though
his voice changed!!!!!
As American since I’m muslin I think I should do all Muslim countries flag
4:47 okay I respect your opinion, but newfoundland and Labrador's flag is way too simple for my liking.
DO YOU LIVE IN CALGARY!?!?!?!?? BC I DO!!!!!!
DONT BE MEAN TO BRITISH COLUMBIA CROWN
Hey If you Blow up Please Remember me🙏
Bro stole Brawl of the Objects assets.
Yeah I realized that
Aren't they proprietary?
