The maple leaf is an entirely tangible symbol of nationalism to Canadians with its symbol adorning the other significant symbols of Canada including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, hockey sticks and even beavers. The Maple leaf embodies all that Canadians would like to be and manages to convey the stark rawness that continues to be an accurate representation of much of the country.

The purity and beauty of symmetry are physical representations of hopes and dreams of the Canadian way of life, in spirit if not fact. It is a symbol recognized and respected throughout the world.
