Most Canadian flags: *Have the British flag as a canton*

USA: *H A W A I I*

*I like the intense music because the intense music is when the HBC (Hudson Bay Company) Territory decreases in a rapid pace.*

Quebec didn't officially have the Rebellion flag, they used the Union Jack and Quebec ensign at the time.

We have to admit that Britain used to be a very powerful country.

Note: Newfoundland and Labrador was administered as a *SEPERATE* colony from the Dominion of Canada.

Damn, New Brunswick has the same shape since 1868 and it changed its flag 3 times throughout the video lol

ERROR : The flag shown on Nova Scotia, from start to finish of this video, only officially became the province's flag in 1929. Like the other three provinces at the time of Confederation, its official flag was an Ensign featuring the Royal Union Flag in the canton and a coat-of-arms approved by Queen Victoria in 1868. Nova Scotia's was a Red Ensign featuring three thistles and a salmon in the escutcheon.

An easy two line mnemonic verse (seemingly inspired by the famous Roy G Biv mnemonic) for this is:
Ynn N Princeedward'
Basmoq N Nova'
which are the initials/first parts of:
Yukon Territory, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island,
British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia.
Note that Ynn (which is pronounced "in") contains all three territories, while Ynn N Princeedward' contains all of what can be called the "northern row" and Basmoq N Nova' contains all of what can be called the southern row.
Note also that each line of the mnemonic follows certain rules that make recalling them correctly rather easy. First, each line is constrained to contain exactly five syllables. The line must stretch from coast to coast. The territories and provinces are represented by their initials unless they are at the end of a line, in which case it is represented by the first few syllables of its full name with spaces removed.
All members of the northern row, except Prince Edward Island, include, in their mainlands, part of the Arctic, defined as north of the sixtieth parallel and all members of the southern row, except Nova Scotia, share a land border with the United States.
This mnemonic is the Canadian part of the well-known (or at least known) "Woc An Tl Ma Flor'" mnemonic for all the states, divisions, and regions of the US, and all the provinces and territories of Canada.
