It symbolizes peace and it's also a leaf found in North America, it's kinda like the bald eagle for Americans but less patriotic

The proportions of the left and right side of the leaf to the center of it - they're equal to the proportions of the average Canadian's chode.

It’s a Muslim thing.

its literally a cuck flag invented to appease brown people

Its the international symbol for beta faggotry.

Of course, it has now become synonymous with shitposting.

Because we have a lot of maple trees you stupid fuck.

cus thats our best stock, weed

because the leaf has three leaf sides. i triangle has 3 sides. a triangle is a very strong shape, since a triangle broke the titanic (the triangle was a iceberg) and icebergs are cold. canada is cold also.

canada runs off maple syrup

Why do you get your milk in bags

Maple syrup is fucking awesome. Flag worthy flavor.

It's more efficient.

it's cheaper than cartons or jugs

interesting, so this is actually the result of the same thing we saw in New Zealand

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_flag_referendums,_2015–16

NZ didn't fully go through with it, but they still use the fern (leaf thing) in public buildings and as alternative logo

The milk bag is also edible so you can eat it when its empty.

because liberals thought our old flag was racist as it excluded people like poo's, chinamen and negroes

The leaf is red,
leaves dont turn red until they die and fall off the tree
thats all you need to know

O_O

They were hoping weed was going to be legalized.
fags even let trudeu get in, just for the weed.

Weed is not legal.
Americans carry two holsters. one for a pistol, and one to hold joints.
Canadians can just smoke moldy Maple and poplar leaves now.

Lester B. Pearson decided to be a cuck when choosing a new flag. Since no one at the committee could decide which flag to use, he chose a flag that they all kinda liked.

But seriously, we could have FUCKING ANYTHING ELSE

I'm not sure, it's a gross flag desu. This is what I fly.

nice try bugerking

What a beautiful work of art

Why does wheat take up such a small part when flat prairie is 95% of the province?

Because that's how much the life of a Canadian is worth, a fucking leaf.

Gardeners union

Because we love maple syrup you 56% nigger spick gook
