It's time to arbitrarily rate the flags of Canada!
Unlike the American state flags, there's a very good chance I've never seen these flags so this will be my first impression. Low scores do not imply anything about the province itself, every province is probably awesome. I don't know, I've never been there.
Starting with the national Canadian flag. I like how they have trademarked an entire species of tree.

Ontario is clearly fond of its British roots. Not sure what's up with that three headed Mapleleaf. I can only assume it is the Cerberus of Canada

I knew this was Quebec without even looking because it's got the fancy French things my phone can't spell, and also all of the blue and white makes it look cold. Which I assume is true about Quebec.

At first I was like, isn't that just the flag of Scotland but with heraldry in the middle? And apparently this is Nova Scotia, which is Latin for Nova Scotland. So it makes sense, but I feel like they tricked me

Oh shit, New Brunswick has a lot going on and I love it. Slightly concerned about whether the flying lion is friendly or not but I like his blue toenails

Manitoba is basically Ontario but with a bison instead of Maple Cerberus.

The flag of British Columbia looks like a cutting error where two different flags meet and I’m kind of good with that

Hey it’s the lion from New Brunswick! He’s gone for a lighter blue nail polish for his visit to Prince Edward Island. Kind of disappointed I don't see any potatoes, because that's the only thing I know about PEI. But I'm going to pretend those are potato trees

This looks like one of the more boring American flags I didn't like. But it seems to explain a lot about Alberta. It has mountains, the river from Frogger with all the alligators, and corn!

This is about the least Canadian flag I’ve seen so far. It looks like the flag of a tropical island, and now I'm doubting everything I thought I knew about Saskatchewan

I don't think it's fair that Newfoundland and Labrador have to share a flag, especially one that seems to be step five in assembling a model airplane. And not a single big doofy doggo?

The Northwest Territories flag looks like something they would have on Game of Thrones. I have never actually seen Game of Thrones, so I might be wrong. But doggo!

The only thing I know about the Yukon is that’s where Yukon Cornelius is from in Rudolph. But he had dogs, and there is a dog on this flag, so I'm satisfied

Nunavut has an inukshuk on its flag and I know what that is because in I think the Vancouver Olympics? They had one as a little symbol on the curling sheets and I like curling.

And that's it for the provinces and territories of Canada! Wikipedia also has flags of indigenous nations and Francophone peoples and such but I’m going to stop here for now.
