I really like QC and NS with honourable mention to BC and NB.

AB is terrible and ON and MB have to go! Too colonial.

There are days when I like NL and days when I think it's too modern/graphic.

For me, when Manitoba changes it's design for the flag, I would love to see either a Bison or Polar Bear (or both) to be present; animals that are emblematic for the province.

My faves are Alberta, Nova Scotia, and Quebec.

I like blue.

BC's is too busy for me, actually I just don't like the sun.

The best territorial flag is the Yukon's, but none are all that great.

All I can say is that the ugliest Canadian flag is the one of Lethbridge.

Ontario's crest alone is great. Alberta's is my favourite flag and I would love if Ontario adopted something similar, but with a background other than blue. I also like Saskatchewan's and Québec's

Two non-provincial flags used in Canada that I like are the Ojibwe and Thunder Bay flags:




Thunder Bay and Anishinabe flags, respectively.

Lethbridge's flag is.... well... special.

BC, NB, and QC flags are my favourites.

MB and ON seriously needs a makeover! Our national flag lost the union jack over 40 years ago, so it's time to lose it for MB and ON as well.

BC (homerism), QC (so boring it's cool), NS (same as QC & like the Russian navy flag too). NL is like a modern Union Jack. Lethbridge's is the old flag of Ft Whoop-Up, which was a whiskey trading post. I think that might explain it.

Call me old-fashioned, but I like the Red Ensign for Ontario. When heading to the future, it helps to remember the past.

I also voted for the BC flag. It's a neat design, in my opinion.

There had better be a damn good story behind that flag...

Sure, but could there be a more boring way to incorporate it?

I'm sorry Rathgrith, but no flag can be nearly so ugly as that of Laval, QC.

I'm not even looking up the Lethbridge flag, that's how confident I am.

Brace yourself and behold:

^ Lethbridge is worse; I think I'd get a seizure seeing it wave in the wind.

I really like New Brunswicks flag, followed closely by Nunavut and with an honorable mention to PEI.

Ontario's flag is pretty boring, but I've always been fond of the coat of arms:
