Don't know if this has been discussed on here before, but I am curious since I noticed a couple of new flags in front of a house today on my usual commute in front of Oakville GO station. There were two small flag poles on the front yard, one had a Canada flag, the other had Ontario.
I searched and saw that there was a thread about best and worst provincial flags, but I didn't see anything discussing the prevalence of the flags in each province.
I think display of the Ontario flag is pretty rare for a residence. I'd say the same thing for a businesses too. Canada flag could possibly outnumber Ontario flags 100 to 1. The most obvious reason is that the flag is not unique. But also because Ontarians don't share a strong bond or unique culture.
Growing up in Brampton, where there is a sizable Newfie population, I would see tonnes of NL flag stickers on cars. Same with the outline of the province.
I've been to Montreal 10 times. First was 1995, during the lead-up to the referendum. Needless to say, saw tonnes of QC flags on balconies, etc. Saw tonnes of Canada flags too.
So my impression is:
1. QC - For obvious reasons.
2. NL - Isolated and was last to join Canada. Very unique identity.
3. SK - The most prairie of the prairie provinces (the populated southern half). Gives the people a unique bond.
After that I have no idea. I'd imagine ON would be last and MB not far behind strictly due to having the same boring flag. Plus I always read that Winnipeg hates itself and perhaps this extends to the rest of the province?
Do you know anyone that flies the provincial flag? What are your impressions for people who have lived in multiple provinces?
I imagine Texas would be #1 down south.
