Ooooooooo

Joseph Wolfson

Surprised you haven’t done European flags

jd

God what I wouldn’t do to get a high rez version of smug calgary & alberta background. pls cgp grey, my home city and province mentioned in a video, ty

James

I will happily watch videos from CGPGrey about every flag in existence

Doug McArthur

Hello from Winnipeg, Manitoba! I accept the failing grade for our provincial flag. It stinks, and before today I couldn’t articulate it beyond just saying it’s ugly and boring. Thank you Grey! If I were proposing a redesign, I’d slap the noble bison in the middle of the Canadian pale and call it a day. That would have to be at least a B tier flag.

Katherine Aumer

This announcement made my day! Now to watch...

Nyan Saik Krat

So glad the musquem flag made it in! As a Vancouverite, it's my all time favourite local flag.

Greg Matyola

I hear what you did there!

Rosuav

Hey, thanks for the shoutout to Australia! I agree, the Australian state flags ARE a set; your "mostly" in there is not a state (Northern Territory) and that's why it's not part of the set. But thanks for recognizing us and that our states did a deliberate theme!

Anschel Schaffer-Cohen

Quebec joins Texas and Puerto Rico in the "flags your citizens put on everything" category

enchantedsleeper

Grey was way nicer to the Canadian provinces xD I'm pretty sure neither of those two A tier flags are "simple enough that a child could draw it" but okay xD

Daniel Wippert

Canadas flag really is beautiful. I would almost rank it better than America's but I think that the meaning behind our design edges out the maple leaf. on a side note I always love watching the canadians try to build there flag during the Reddit r/place event

enchantedsleeper

I wonder if we're going to get a Forest of All Knowledge bonus video about the Newfoundland & Labrador tricolour

Maggie Osterberg

I really want a Quebec stick figure t-shirt now.

Alex

I'm an Ontarian born and bred but my family and my heart live both on Quebec and BC, and I am exceptionally happy that they both got the recognition they deserve and Ontario got (rightfully) shat on đŸ€ŁđŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł

Hector Kidd

Well done Grey, another awesome video. Would be awesome to see Australia’s states and territoire ranked, but they’re basically all the same!

John Shen

Gong show. Excellent use of local slang

John Naismith

Nunavut is at least A tier, no? Very solid flag. Agree with most of this as an Ontarian.

gidooo

Hey, if possible could you go back to using YouTube instead of the patreon player? I'm stuck on bad hotel wifi and it buffers like crazy here while YouTube will just lower the resolution and be fine.

As a recent immigrant to Quebec, and formerly of British Columbia, I agree. But according to my "Bienvenue au Québec" booklet, I'm supposed to mention the fact that I'm agreeing reluctantly.

Ranadeep Mitra

I can never quite explain why but these videos never fail to just make my day a whole lot better!

Rich Bert

Fabulous, Grey!

Wyatt Skaggs

Already a secret teaser for the Australian one. Can't wait 😉😉😉

cincospenguinos

This is a comment teasing Grey about his French pronunciation

Tyrel Irwin

I personally believe that Newfoundland and Labrador's flag has crossed the Maryland point, but otherwise this was pretty spot on

Zeragamba

It's also as prevliant of a flag on the rock as the american flag is in the states. If you're driving around anywhere in Newfoundland, you'll see that flag displayed everywhere. Even for those islanders who have migrated across Canada have at least one Newfie flag somewhere. Heck a lot of fish and chip places in Ontario have the flag.

Eugene Chang

New Brunswick is Grey’s Canadian Maryland

Simon Priisholm

Love it (in a semi high tone in the end ;)) now for the eu Union flags đŸ€žđŸ˜đŸ˜‰

Hans Cathcart

I couldn’t help notice that Nunavut’s flag was shown with its backside in the preview gif
oh god I’ve become one of those people. In addition to Narwhals, I feel like the fact it’s the only province/territory to include one if the poles (North Geomagnetic) could have been used to spectacular effect.

Rei

Man, now I want a freezie.

John Cox

"Flag Opinions" is a wonderful series, and while I always look forward to the meticulous knowledge digging + storytelling that are crafted into all your videos, it is a fun diversion every now and then to see ratings of symbolism

Stéphane Lemay

There it is, this is the video that made me up my pledge the moment it was teased. Well worth it, I love the comparison work along with a quick dive into the symbolism!

Stacy Finkelstein

Too funny that Ontario is holding a Tim's coffee cup!

Thomas Berg

Whaaaaat?! BC’s flag is a dumpster fire on a flagpole. Don’t be an enabler, Grey!

Mitchell Grenier

Did you come across the Franco-ontarian flag in your research? To me it looks like a quite well designed flag

Stéphane Lemay
>>115153860

I wasn't expecting it to show up since it's not a province, but yeah, totally S tier in my mind. It's so simple yet elegant.

Erik Anderson

We need a narwhal flag for narwhal

MidnaMajora

Love this whole series! Another home run.

Stephen Edmonds
>>115143313

I don't think there is much more to say... though to clarify all six states are using the jack and arms design, it is the territories that are different

Charles Gousha

Nice touch to include the Newfoundland/Labrador tri-color flag. Just a bit of hint at the tremendous submerged icebergs of knowledge that all Grey videos have!

Fernando Gros

How did B.C. rank higher than Nunavut?!?

Colin

I loved that Newfoundland and Labrador prompted a whole mid-tier for not one but two of their flags. The Tim's coffee cup for Ontario was great!

>>115138050

Only gripe with this video is that Grey said "Musquem" incorrectly (I actually missed that it was Musquem First Nation during my firth watch through) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Musqueam_English_pronunciation.mp3

David Simon

btw idk why but at the end of the english subtitles it says please subscribe in Korean

Cogspace

Quebec has one of my favorite flags. Je l'adore! đŸ‡ČđŸ‡¶

Wesley Foxx

Not doing city flags... /yet?/

Cas Eliëns

Soon; the new channel by Grey: flagTierList

Eduardo Cardoso

great vid! brazilian state flags when? đŸ„ș

Whatzuplizzy

Love it! Do more, do MORE please 😜

Heathen Street Preacher

I LOVE this! I hope there’s more Canadian flags coming. Please?

Heathen Street Preacher

One missed opportunity: The snowman in the last shot should have been Bonhomme. 😜

Adam Rich

Always loved the Quebec flag, glad to see it recognized.

John Mason

These bonus videos always stop short on me. This one at 4:38

MC

Amazing we just started our Canadian vacation and I was thinking “what would Grey say about the Canadians flags?” And here we are. The flag for Quebec City is definitely S-Tier

2023-08-14 22:53:27 Despite the lack of narwhals, and Newfoundland and Labrador forgetting to finish their flag, I'm still completely charmed by these adorable little girls and their hopeful expressions, love of icees, and enthusiasm. Grey, how...HOW do you make me fall in love with animated stick figures EVERY time?!? <3

Bryan Jay

The BC flag is the worst, and not in a "Maryland" way. It's just awful all around. F minus. Quebec is definitely the best.

Asky

As an unapologetic Ontarian... our flag completely sucks. We should have, like... birds, or grapes, or soybeans, or a giant trillium on a Canadian pale... actually, you know what? I'm going to badly photoshop that last one right now and put it on the proper vexillology reddit Also Quebec's flag is the best, no contest. As a bonus, Quebec's capital, Quebec City, has the best city flag.

Evan Magnusson

Personally while I agree that my own province’s flag is awful, I would disagree with BC’s. That one is hideous, and not in a Maryland way.

Averie Wright

no one has mentioned the “oh, canada” national anthem nod grey made in the beginning

Kalev Hunt
>>115203836

Oh gods... can I not and say I didn't? Worst. Browser. Ever. (but thanks for the tip!)

Andrew Long

The Franco-Ontarian flag is a much-needed upgrade to our flag. A 1:2 vertical bicolour of green and white; charged with a white fleur-de-lys centred on the green portion and a trillium centred on the white portion. The trillium is the same stylized trillium that appeared for decades as the Government of Ontario's official symbol.

Nicholas

I'll be honest, I completely forgot what my province's flag looked like. It is very basic and not memorable at all.

Moosearmy
>>115233839

We have the goddam Trillium and do nothing with it. It's literally our thing like the inukshuk to Nunavut. But don't give Dougie any more ideas on things to change. I have zero faith in a good flag after the license plate fiasco.

Someone

Expected he wouldn't do cities, but I was hoping he'd mention the printer error that is the City of Lethbridge flag. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Lethbridge

Burt Clothier

I want that end screen as a wallpaper, please!!

Peter

I'm from New Brunswick and am so pleased that you like our flag. I'm very fond of it myself and I believe that's a common feeling. Certainly people like to put our flag on things around here.

Jeffry

Love it! Do Australia (and maybe New Zealand) too please!

Jeffry

Oooh, you could even do flags of the world (maybe by clustered groups of countries, since doing the entire globe in one hit would be A LOT).

Zaphod

Liberian county flags next?

qrayx

As a BC resident: no. BC has a uniquely awful flag, occupying the bottom tier alone. It’s not “so-bad-it’s-good.” At least Maryland has neat designs. BC has a badly stretched union flag with a clip-art crown slapped on top with a goofy sun and waves below. Why is the sun below the union flag? Because “the sun never sets on the British Empire”
 The flag was adopted in 1960, well after the empire, and we knew better than to perpetuate colonial romanticism. BC, more than any other Canadian flag, is in desperate need of replacement. Also, Nunavut is S-tier.

Jo Mason

agreed that Nunavut is S-Tier. I'm actually very fond of Newfoundland's, though Grey's suggestion isn't wrong. The unofficial Labrador flag is pretty good, too. Also, Grey, if you every do a selection of city flags, please consider doing some Canadian ones. I say this as a Torontonian who HATES our city flag (but our prior Metro Toronto flag was pretty bomb!)

Staeus von Wolfenhart

I used to really like our flag here in BC. It stood out, unique from the other provincial flags in our country (hard stare at Ontario and Manitoba). The colours and shapes really embodies what I loved about where I loved: bright, vibrant, active, and energetic; a land and people living with nature. The older I got and the more I learned of our colonial history and present (along with art and design and vexillology) I started to find the flaws and even disliked aspects of it. The sun on the water lines seems strange, that ridiculous thin blue line that splits the horizontal, and worst of all is the symbolic reinforcement of the Crown and Union Jack above everything. Big fan of redesigning the flag as well as renaming this province, as much as I still kinda like the current flag :)

Michael McCarthy

Nova Scotia deserved better 😭

Tyler Stevens

Great video! Can't really argue with any of it, although I think you were too generous with my home province of BC. Don't like the wavy sun rays, and the line separating the Union Jack from the lower portion stands out far too much. Looks like two flags stacked on top of each other.

Ross Olson

I just noticed the very first line that is spoken.

Soup Juby

When is all of the Countrys Flag Ratings?

Laura Danielson

I’m kind of disappointed that so many of these flags break the NAVA rules that Grey adhered to in his other flag vids, but he gave so many passes for these Canadian flags. Worse, the province closest to my heart got B/C on hers even though she followed the assignment. Still, I love a good vexililogical discussion so I was happy to see the video overall. More flag grading vids please!

Frederick Herriot

Love your ranking of these flags as much as I loved your ranking of the American state flags. BTW, I hope you got the message about Minnesota choosing your favourite!

Javier Sandoval

I fully agree with the New Brunswick decision. That flag is awesome!

Kyle Prince

I just wanted to say that I really liked this video and wondered how Canada and her provinces would stack up on your grading scheme.. I am from Ontario and loved how you managed to incorporate little bits of Canadian kitsch.. Having one of the girls holding a "Tim Hortons" coffee cup.. That was brilliant! and I am also glad to see that we as a country and its parts also did not need a secondary "grading" system for the "failed" flags from FS - FF...
