I realize I say "crest" throughout when I probably simply mean "shield" but I can't be bothered to replace them everywhere so I'm leaving it as it is.

Ontario

flag of Ontario

Union Jack in the corner with a crest? Boring and unimaginative. ⭐

Quebec

Distinctive and easily recognizable at a distance with the iconic fleur de lis. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nova Scotia

flag of Nova Scotia

Simple and distinctive with a cool dragon. However I fundamentally don't believe flags should have crests or seals on them because they should be standalone, independent symbols. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

New Brunswick

flag of New Brunswick

Fantastic, love the dragon, love the boat. However I think it's a little much. This would be suitable for a crest, but not really a flag, since it's complex and not necessarily recognizable at a distance. But very good! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Manitoba

flag of Manitoba

Nope. Same problem as Ontario. ⭐

British Columbia

flag of British Columbia

A bit busy isn't it? It's full of stripes and waves and spikes. Why does the union jack have a crown in the middle? In fact I think the entire top half could be removed, and just use the bottom half alone. A sun overtop blue waves would be distinctive enough. This would probably be two stars, but I'm biased since I'm from BC, so ⭐⭐⭐

Prince Edward Island

flag of Prince Edward Island

I like the dragon but the island with the tree is way too detailed and looks ugly. Also what's with the uneven red boxes on the side? Absolutely infuriating that they're not on the left edge. ⭐⭐

Saskatchewan

flag of Saskatchewan

What did I say? No crests! However the colour scheme is quite unique, and the flower is a good symbol, if far too detailed. Unfortunately, unlike Nova Scotia, you cannot simply ignore the crest, which itself also has too many components. ⭐⭐⭐

Alberta

flag of Alberta

No crests. ⭐

Newfoundland

flag of Newfoundland

Absolutely fantastic design. Simple, geometric, iconic, distinctive, identifiable, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Northwest Territories

flag of Northwest Territories

No crests. ⭐

Yukon

flag of Yukon

No crests. ⭐

Nunavut

flag of Nunavut

Yet another paragon of flag design. Easily recognizable with its inukshuk, but not overly complicated. Elegance and beauty. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
