Ugh.  That's almost as bad as some of our state flags.

I'll give you that BC's flag is dreadful.

But several provinces have incorporated the Union Jack, or in Nova Scotia's case the cross of St Andrews, in pretty ways.

Alberta's flag, for the record, is dreadfully boring.

I wish Canada had kept the Red Ensign. :(
see?  I guessed it even without reading through the entire thread! :P

Since there are no symbols of Ancien Regime France on Quebec's flag I can see why you are so smug about this.

the equivalent you're searching for would be the Acadian flag.

In any case, Quebec does not aspire to be a French colony, dependant on the French King.

What does it aspire to be?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The "Queen of Canada" is nothing more than a mascot.

Anyway I could never say anything mean about the Acadian flag :wub:

It's kind of cool in a way, but it looks like they couldn't decide between two flags and decided to go with both.

Jacob tears up whenever he sees it waving proudly over Vancouver Island.

I did find his reaction to be...curious.

The Ontario Flag has the Union Jack.

For sheer uglyness, though, few flags beat the Toronto flag - which does not.  ;)

I've never seen the Toronto City flag before, so I googled it.

That's exactly what it looks like!  :lol:
