List of U.S. state insignia splits symbols into seperate lists. Why can't Canadian provinces do the same. If we do the split this could turn into a disambiguation page. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 22:00, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I added summary tables for provinces / territories. Now it seams to make sense to split the article by provinces, and keep this one as an overview. Thoughts? --Qyd 17:53, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm wondering what the order of the provinces and territories is in the initial table. It's clearly not alphabetical, and it doesn't seem to be in order of when each province\territory joined the confederation. On that note, I know the columns are numerous as it is, but should there be a column for when they joined confederation? --Thaddius 12:54, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
The fleur de lys image shown for the Province of Quebec is wrong. The Quebecois fleur de lys is SILVER, not gold. Silver is represented in heraldry with the colour white.
The Quebec flag, for example, is an arrangment of heraldic symbols - typically described as a white cross on a blue field, with a white fleur de lys in each quarter. In fact, the cross and the fleurs are silver; but in heraldic artwork, as noted, silver is represented by white. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.43.13 (talk) 02:23, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on List of Canadian provincial and territorial symbols. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add ((cbignore))
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add ((nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot))
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

If you follow the source linked, you can see in the article that the Red Fox has only passed a "second reading" and still need more to become official: "The bill still has to be called for third reading before it can receive royal assent."
So there are at least two more steps before this is an official animal. The Canadian government has a list of all of the national/provincial/territorial symbols nested in the first reference on this page.

Okay actually it IS now the official animal, here is a better source. I'm a brand-new user so I don't want to edit the main article.
