I also remember that the one one the QC/NB border (on the QC side) on the former alignment of the Trans-Canada has a huge Canadian one but also a Quebec one.

I just did a quick search and it seems like Irving has changed most of its huge flags to Canadian ones in all provinces except Quebec. (I was in the Maritimes not that long ago but admit that I hadn't really noticed.)

I know for sure they used to have huge provincial flags other than in Quebec, because I remember clearly thinking at one point some years ago: "Holy cow, I've never seen an NB/PEI flag that big before".

Irving also seems to be moving to a new station design, and it's one that doesn't have a flag pole on top of the roof that shelters the pumps.
