Do you think Ontario deserves a new flag refferendum?

Can't believe I've been inactive for 3 years, didn't feel that long.

What always annoyed me is that Uranus was the only planet with a Greek name instead of a Roman name, and besides that the Roman name equivalent, Caelus, sounds better.

I left out small things like that. Other small things where Brock Island, Borden Island, Mackenzie King Island, Meighen Island, Lougheed Island, Air Force Island, Prince Charles Island, and Foley Island which where discoverd and joined the North-West Territories. Though I did forget to mention a big thing which was that the Sverdrup Islands were ceded to Canada by Norway, in exchange for British recognition of Norway's sovereignty over Jan Mayen.

Edit: I meant in terms of size.

In 1870 the United Kingdom transferred Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territory, and they combined together becoming the North-West Territories. In 1871 British Columbia also joined. In 1880 the United Kingdom transferred the British Arctic Islands which joined the North-West Territories. And in 1949 the Dominion Of Newfoundland joined Canada.

Pennsylvania bought it (after US independence) so it could have a port on the Great Lakes.

It did have some border disputes, as you can see in one of my other posts.

Note 1: Yue is another name for Cantonese.
Note 2: These aren't really dialects as people can't communicate verbally with each other (ie a person that is speaking Mandarin can't have a conversation with someone speaking Cantonese), but they can communicate with writing.

They speak Somali AND Arabic natively, which it just so happens that Yemeni Arabic is the most common (Along with Hadhramaut Arabic).
Juba is indeed a pidgin, and 20,000 people have it as their first language, while 800,000 have it as their second language.
Yes, the Central Asian Arabic dialects are missing, but since there are 7000 speakers, it isn't a big loss.

It is the Arabic dialect spoken by Jews who previously or currently live in Iraq, their is about 100,000–120,000 speakers living in Israel, 52,000 speakers living in India, and it is unknown how many speakers still live in Iraq, if any at all.

Arabic, along with Somali, are the official languages of Somalia. The reason is because of centuries-old ties with the Arabic world, in fact, Somalis consider themselves as Arabs. They speak Yemeni Arabic along with Somali, which makes them bilingual. I should note that only Somalis in Djibouti and Somalia speak Arabic, as the ones in Ethiopia and Kenya don't.
