The Ontario Flag has the Union Jack.

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

:huh:

It looks like an animation of someone unzipping his/her jeans and it being censored just at the crucial moment.

:lol:

Pretty well exactly what I think of it (or, "a naked person's legs, wearing a maple leaf instead of the more traditional fig leaf").

Needless to say, it was a flag chosen by a committee - a fact that belongs on one of those "demotivator" posters.

Now perhaps you guys can appreciate why some of us like traditional flag designs based on the Union Jack - at least in that case, we won't end up saluting a modern committee-chosen abortion like that.  ;)

Oh wow it really does.



And that's why feudalism was a good thing, at the end.

Or like that New Zealand thing.  It looks like a corporate logo.

Hmm.  Corporate logo, or SS PanzerArmee insignia?

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

The US flag with an extra star for DC, eating the rest of the country, because we know people inside the beltway are more equal.

People inside the beltway get to pay federal taxes with no representation in Congress or the Senate.  That is kind of weird place for the master race to be in.

Inside the Beltway includes a big chunk of Maryland and Virginia.

If you mean residents of DC, they are less equal because they have no representation in the Senate.

Well I guess they do have a House Representative, they just cannot vote.

I thinks she might be allowed to vote on DC matters.

Actually before we judge Toronto so harshly, look at the other submissions...

A few of those are better, but that is not saying much.
