Ahhh, my bad, I wasn't sure. I mostly hear Americans refer to them as Eskimos. Cool tho, I'll remember that.

[@mutantmacrophage6653]

Technically, there are multiple Eskimo tribes in Alaska (and Russia) but there's only one arctic tribe in Canada; the Inuit. People in Canada who want to appear politically correct insist on calling all Eskimos Inuits, which is technically correct for Canada but it excludes all the other arctic Natives. The word 'eskimo' has no innate meaning other than to mean any arctic Natives / First Nation peoples. I don't understand why people insist on getting rid of it. It's as if Americans suddenly decided to call all Latin American immigrants Mexicans immigrants because they are the majority of the Latin American immigrants.

I feel obliged to say that the flag you referred to as the "Royal Military Flag" is actually the flag of the Royal Military College of Canada, the flag upon which our current flag is based, and that there is no such thing as a "Royal Military Flag". The TDV crest in the middle is the insignia of the Canadian Military Colleges, RMCC and CMRSJ, and is worn as the cap brass at the two colleges.

Newfoundland is not actually considered a maritime province, however it is an atlantic province, which has all the maritimes, plus newfoundland and labrador, i think a large part of this is because, newfoundland is a little more isolated, and has its own time zone, and labrador is so massive, and with such a low population density that not much really happens there anyway. ( source: im from newfoundland and have put some thought to it. ) EDIT: Also, from some quick research it says the term Maritime province to mean Nova scotia, new brunswick and PEI was established long before 1949, the year Newfoundland joined canada, so instead of redefining it, they just left it be.

lol more like witheld pertinent information! An Inuksuk isn't even a monument! Definition of Monument: a statue, building, or other structure erected to commemorate a famous or notable person or event. or a statue or other structure placed by or over a grave in memory of the dead.

Why does every good youtuber (CGPgrey, brady, GeographyNow, Artifaxian, GeographyHub, everyone) seem to like flags? I don't hate them or anything, but why flags?

[@Josh-jt2nv]

dunno, you seem to get hooked on them like drugs, becomes an addiction. I know from experience

[@d34thiseternal]

The symbolism. i find them interesting, myself.

NO!!! A FUCKING LEAF

[@ericthehighlander]

[@Matthew-bk2ug]

No. Even poo in loo's flag is better than a fucking leaf.

[@ericthehighlander]

At least Canadian flags don't have writing on them.

It would have to be historic ones e.g Yorkshire as south yorkshires flag is disgusting. Mist of them are pretty cool and heraldic

[@sbrideau2000]

Cant believe I just found you for the first time, loved this video. You did miss the Acadian flag, mainly seen in New-Brunswick and Nova-Scotia but can also be seen sometimes in Louisiana in the US.

[@samuelcameron8215]

Your pronouncing it wrong as a Newfie I take this seriously

[@cartmando9874]

Samuel Cameron it's pronounced new-fin-land but a lot say new-find-lind and some pronounce it as it it spelled.....

[@datz__]

Aye almost as if we are New Finland lmao instead of Newfoundland.

[@andrewgould6689]

No, it's prounounced new-found-land

[@ntcn0ah06]

yeah its New-found-land, but in many situations it is awkward and sounds wrong to say it that way, naturally when said by people that actually live here its New-fun/fin-Land, but never finland.

[@datz__]

sorry you are mistaken. I meant that the way some people say it makes us seem almost like New Finland, not that we from Newfoundland would say it like that.

[@Phazon8058MS]

3:51 "Saskatchewan is located in the centre of Canada." As a Manitoban, U WAT?! Manitoba is in the centre of the country, not Saskatchewan. All the signs when you drive into Winnipeg (Manitoba's capital and largest city) have "Heart of the Continent" written on them! Manitoba is called the "Keystone Province". The longitudinal centre of the country is in Manitoba (and Nunavut too). Why am I getting all uppity about this? Because Manitoba and Saskatchewan don't like each other... Rough Riders can suck it.

[@Mitchellisawesome100]

[@sethskinner1897]

3:03 for future refrence I belive it is pronounced Newf-In-Land Not Newf-en-lund

[@Left4Adam]

Seth Skinner don't mean to sound like a cock. but it's more pronounced as New-found-land, they weren't very creative I know

[@sethskinner1897]

Mozobozo dont take this as rude but are you from there because my family are and they say newf-in-land but maybe its just dialects

[@Left4Adam]

Seth Skinner yes I've lived here all my life. but there is definitely a possibility of different dialects around the island. I don't think I should have posted my comment trying to correct you without taking into consideration that factor. sorry

[@fgjhham89]

At least he didn't say New-FOUND-Land!

[@datz__]

Iv never heard anyone from Newfoundland pronounce it as New-Found-Land (Maybe townies in St. John's?). Newf-en-land is pretty close. (SOURCE: I am from Newfoundland.)

fun fact. the Canadians flag was originally a weed leaf-snoop dog 1969 fun fact. the flag was a pun, for dont leaf me (Quebec) and as all Americans know the Canadians love puns- George Bush 2001 fun fact. the flag was changed from having the union jack so that Yanks (and the rest of the world) would stop asking (are you part of the UK?) -tony Blair 2002 Fun fact. the flag was changed to reflect the issue of global warming...10 years before it was an issue. -Al Gore inventor of the internet - 1999 fun fact. the flag is red and has a leaf to represent the raping of our native land and the blood spilt by the white man-Elizabeth Warren -2012 fun fact. the flag was changed because they really wanted America to notice them -Trump 2018 Fun fact. the flag was suspose to include the majestik møøse A Møøse once bit my sister... No realli! -someone who was sacked -1975

As an Ontarian I would like to personally apologize for our flag

[@emeraldfrmnyc]

I'm a new Yorker and I apologize for our flag

[@keithwatson1384]

whats wrong with the Ontarian flag?

[@EEYore-py1bf]

It’s the best flag, don’t you dare apologize. I’m from BC, but I just can’t stand people insulting the Ensigns. They are clear representations of what Canada is. Not some bland, soulless, metropolitan New-America like the federal flag, but a symbol of the Anglo-Canadian identity that survived for over a hundred years before being nearly extinguished by the rising tide of anti-Canadianism pervasive in our schools and institutions. The fact that you would find it necessary to apologize for a symbol of your heritage is a clear sign of our crumbling society.

[@esmaeelsamhan8161]

why its a great flag that references its awesome brittish heritage

The sun was setting in the west The birds were singing on every tree All nature seemed inclined to rest But still there was no rest for me Farewell Nova Scotia The sea-bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I am far away On your briny ocean tossed Will you ever heave a sigh Or a wish for me I grieve to leave my native land I grieve to leave my comrades all And my parents whom I held so dear And the bonny, bonny lassie That I do adore The drums they do beat And the wars do alarm The Captain calls, I must obey So farewell, farewell To my Nova Scotia home For it's early in the morning That I'm far, far away I had three brothers and they are at rest Their arms are folded on their chests But a poor, simple sailor just like me Must be tossed and driven On the deep, blue sea.

Why'd you say "Nooh-nah-voot" it's "Nuh-nah-vuht" (just say "none of it") When you tried to pronounce that I died a little

[@Boalmighty]

He probably said it that way because he looked up how to pronounce it, and found people who are actually from there saying it correctly

[@shawntheruler7664]

I live in Canada but i support Quebec's independence cuz to me there are 3 major pillars or rules to any province,state,or regions independence 1.when people of that region don't agree with their current government and it's laws 2.when people of that region are ethnically different from the other people of their country 3.having different culture or language

[@KillerKomodo713]

Moory Styles I'm honestly all for their indapendence...just one....LARGE problem... The country of Canada gets split in two and that would bring a whole cluster fuck of problems with it.

[@KnightRider071791]

Ive made this arguement before and i stand by it: Quebec is no more special than any other province... big deal that they speak french there and they have french historical roots Canada is a vast country with a rich history and you could realistically make a case for any province/territory to be independent For example, im a newfoundlander (with french blood because the french didnt only go to quebec), we have our own dialect and version of english that makes no sense to people that dont speak it (waddaya at, b'y = whats up), we have our own genre of music, our own traditions... hell, we used to be independent until 1949 when we joined canada in the first place and one of the things we did as an independent entity was fighting in ww1.. yea, the island province of half a million people sent a frigging army to fight along side the british, canadian, and french armies and the crown seen fit to dub us as the royal newfoundland regiment, an honour not given to just any group... hows quebec special? They bitch in french and try to make the rest of the country bend to their will... like i said before, big deal...

[@kyledoeshistory3296]

1. I agree 2. I disagree. If that was the case black people in America could just say they want independence 3. I disagree. Look at the UK for example, it is made up of 4 different nations all with different cultures and languages, but that doesn't mean all of them want independence ( Well, maybe Scotland )
