A special flag committee invited ordinary citizens to submit their vision of a brand new flag. Of the total 3541 submissions, 2136 bore maple leaves, 408 the Union Jack, 389 had a beaver, and 359 contained fleurs-de-lys. In the end, a simple red maple leaf design by Colonel George Stanley would win.

I like the one with the Beatles!
Me too! Hit me immediately that that was the one. The beaver's second and just for abstract quality, that last one is third.
NO NO..The triple maple leaf was the best and most favorite of Pearson but he knew how to make a compromise and the best flag won out. It's so iconic and perfect.
Plus the Beatles are not Canadian. Hate to break it to ya. But maybe if they put Stompin' Tom on there...now we got us an icon.
I like the Blue and the Red crisscrossing in the middle over this white background, it kinda look futuristic. It's like a flag for a Starship.
Yes, when we move the country INTO SPACE...that one will be appropriate. Damn Sixies minimalism.
Of course the Beatles are not Canadian. That's the beauty of it old bean.
The Beatles belong to THE WORLD, man.
Well all of them but Ringo. He knows why I dislike him. He never made a CAVEMAN 2.
