Didn't think the person who thought the maple leaf was crazy, just kindof think it's retarded that it's just 1 lonely leaf. If there were 3 leaves it might look a bit better but really it just looks pathetic and childish looking. Also yeah I find a tree in a flag stupid as well, although in this case more trees would make it look even more retarded.Jean_Peste_tu? wrote:

The legend about our flag I've heard goes like this;
Before God all countries were to chose a flower to bless their flags with. As we were the last to select a flower for our flag, God realized that there were no more available, all were taken by the countries ahead of us. God said then "Do not be disappointed, here's the most noble of all trees, the maple."
Not true but who did chose the maple was not crazy.
As far as I know, it's the best wood to heat your home with; it burns longer than any other, you can feed out of them, you can make instruments for food wihtout contaminating the food, music instruments, at fall the colors are awesome, it grows in our country from sea to sea, etc. Do you want more reasons to have the maple leaf as our flag symbol?
Here's a linky to the govmt site. Read about it. Learn a bit, it may help preventing to look like an idiot!
