I've never liked this thing much. Back in the mid-sixties the adoption of a new Canadian flag was a huge debate in Parliament and among the citizenry at large, with the end result that the old red Canadian Ensign with the Union Jack in the first canton was dumped for this. Its not that I hold a deep affection for the old flag, which was a jumbled mess, but this looks like it was created by an advertising agency for a maple syrup producer.
Personally, I've always liked one of the more ironic submissions that went to the Parliamentary Flag committee back when the furore was in full force. Nine beavers in a circle pissing on a frog.
