what is the meaning of the canadian flag
Flag of Canada The number of points on the leaf has no special significance;[18] the number and arrangement of the points were chosen after wind tunnel tests showed the current design to be the least blurry of the various designs when tested under high wind conditions.[19] Some textbooks for Canadian schoolchildren assert erroneously that "Each point stands for a province and the three territories" [1]. When the flag was designed in 1964, however, Canada had 10 provinces and 2 territories (Yukon and the Northwest Territories); Nunavut was not made separate from the Northwest Territories until 1999.
