>Oh of course, yes! I remember remarking on it when I was in Ontario, and the fact that their provintial flag still is just the Union Flag (I think). Canada is such a confusing collection of provinces :-)

Looking at the provinical flags with new eyes:

Alberta: has the english flag as a portion
BC: top half is in the union jack
Manitoba: red ensign
New Brunswick: English heraldic lion
Newfoundland: references to the union jack
Nova Scotia: you guess it, references to the Scottish flag
Ontario: red ensign
PEI: English heraldic lion
Quebec: fleur-de-lis, a symbol from France
Saskatchewan: English heraldic lion
