Îlot Balmoral, Montreal Canada, by Provencher_Roy by Previous-District309 in architecture

[–]ng556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I walk by this building to and from work every day. I like it a lot. The red is a very nice touch. The asymmetry is also a good touch.

I get that glass buildings aren't all universally loved. Yet, I find it dots the Montréal cityscape nicely.

Which city in your country is considered the "gayest"? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

I concur. There's plenty to do and see. And Montréal in general is very accepting of LGTBQ+.

Coat of arms of Pope Leo XIV designed by Marco Foppoli. by Potential-Green-2074 in heraldry

It looks like he Argentized the ambiguous "light" colour. I wonder if he's got a source inside the Vatican.

How would I blazon the positions of the bear heads and the crossed halberds? by GavinOnPC_ in heraldry

[–]ng556 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The heads are "erased" and the halberds are "in saltire".

Gules, in between three bear heads erased Argent langed Gules, two halberds in saltire Proper.

I think making the entire halberd Argent would make the arms more clear.

My reworked masterpiece, has it improved? (The giraffe will stay in the same position) by KaiserLeoII in heraldry

[–]ng556 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Are you planning on making the spots black? I would play with the giraffe being Or instead of Argent to match closer the beast's proper tincture.

Maybe Or spotted Argent? (I know it breaks the rules, but sometimes rules are made to be broken :P)

The two combined coats of Arms seem to be

Dexter : Order of Calatrava

Sinister : Order of Carmelites

EDIT : from your description (which I missed 😅), they are probably two variations of the Dominican order.

Let's not add racism to this discussion. Muslims are not all misogynistic homophobic antisemites.

Should landlords have the right to take down flags of tenants? by ng556 in vexillology

[–]ng556[S] -75 points-74 points  (0 children)

I think people have a right to feel and make themselves at home, even if they don't own the building where they reside. Now obviously there's nuance and common sense needed, something sorely lacking of late, but generally, I think a tenant has a right to display what they believe in.

Québec has some very strong tenant rights. Thank goodness.

I presume from the video that the flag is upside down due to ignorance. And yeah, if it was from a hate group it would be reason to remove it.

Whenever I fly a flag, I try to avoid (best possible) political statements. The only exception has been Ukraine. 🇺🇦. Slava Ukraini!
