    Which one was your favorite? (Mine were Ontario and Alberta) and which country would you like to see in the future?
    *correction from TommyJames, there were two regions (Quebec and Ontario - regions and not provinces) during the confederation

      I enjoyed your Ontario flag but I don't like the Manitoba one since you litteraly stole the cow from Wyoming and I'd rather not steak stuff from US flags, and I also think you NERFED the British Colunbia flag, the complex sun is beutiful just the way it is and it's my favourite of the current flags

      The confederation is from 1867 to now. So confederal Canada went fron 4 provinces (Québec, Ontarion, NB, NS) to 10 provinces and 3 territories.
      I think you refer to the preconfederal Canada which was made of 2 regions (Canada-East, nowdays Québec, and Canada-West, nowdays Ontario)

    Albertan here. I think our flag is fine, love that blue, but the coat of arms is terrible. Instead of redesigning flags, other symbols can and should be reworked. (And not in the way of just making a bad coat of arms larger, like what did happen. It was nicer when it was smaller like the coat of arms on Nova Scotia's flag.) The coat of arms of the NWT is very well done and something that maybe we should emulate. Other provinces are fine with me generally, except I prefer green, white and pink for Newfoundland. Ontario and Manitoba should not go changing. BC actually flies very well since I have seen it on a number of flags poles when travelling. Only reworks may be Saskatchewan (proportions are strange), and remove the flowers underneath Yukon's coat of arms, less is more in that case.
    This brings me to a second point which is instead of wholesale changes to some modern corporate logo of a flag which removes also all history make simple, small changes to redress problems. The new flags of Minnesota is an example of what can go wrong because I find it almost soulless. NAVA's own flag is a prescription for disaster. Getting caught up in the trend of redesigning everyone's flag to NAVA standards has problems as well which include taking very traditional flags and changing them into bed sheets.

    I'm always glad to see the Maritime flags get some love. I really like PEI's flag as is, but your redesign is the only one I've ever seen that I think looks a bit better.
    One redesign that I would do would be taking Newfoundland's current flag and swapping out the blue for green and the red for pink. It makes for a nice compromise between the official flag and the tri color.

      The blue represents britain and also the ocean. Changing the colours ruins the meaning.

    Quick correction - there were four provinces during the 1867 Canadian confederation (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.) I'm assuming you meant the two regions that made up Upper and Lower Canada?

      Thanks Tommy! Yes that’s what I meant. I’ll add it to my pinned comment

    hm. Ontarian here, and while I agree with everything you said about ideas for redesigning the Ontario flag, I'm not really liking the suggested flag. I think I'm mainly objecting to the yellow. Maybe if the trillium was white and the wavy lines were blue, I'd like it better? But I really want the maple leaf in there too, somehow. hm. This isn't easy, is it?

    • @councilofknowledge
      @councilofknowledge  7 месяцев назад

      Thanks friend! The flower can be made white for sure but I like green and yellow! However, blue on green won’t work! You could add a white maple leaf in a blue white section next to the green

    If you have time, can you redesign the Indonesian provincial flag? because most Indonesian provincial flags only have their emblems attached

      True, I did simplify both a bit more but I felt like I wanted to keep them close to the heraldry

    The alternative flag for Newfoundland is inspired by Ireland, not Italy.
    A lot of newfie have irish ancestors, very few have italian ancestors

    sigh, the only 3 that need addressing: Alberta, Manitoba & Ontario.Keep it simple make these 3 banners of the shield of their coats of arms. The rest is just click bait. A note about Ontario's: over the years the province has increased the size of the shield to be much larger than it was in the 1960's & the Union Jack Smaller. When Nunavut was created, the people of NWT were asked if they wanted a new name for the territory. No was the answer, one of the most popular alternatives was "Bob". Now I'd love to see you come up with a flag for BOB!
