I understand and sympathize with colonial rebellion and wishing to cut the umbilical cord and to be oh so inclusive of all mother cultures.. (wherefrom the umbilical cord hence?) BUT, much of the anti-mother country bias is just knee-jerk reactionary bias, and what is not that is an insidious wedge designed to gain the reigns of dominance. That is the only reason I would tend to question the attitude that cultures have to be dictatorships in order to survive and that tradition is something to be toppled out of hand if it does not align with a cultural bias I favour.

Not to mention (sans a) coat of arms. A bare red maple leaf. What does that symbolize? Bleeding red ink in the hardwood furniture business? I think a central field beaver gnawing on a money tree would have been better. They should do it like India on the money too and print the denomination in all the language groups we have here. There are 17 ones displayed on the Indian rupee. We are not unique but we do have about 20 fair size language groups in Canada and there is no official recognition of this in any substantive way. They should have at least English, Celtic, French, A few Indian ones, Inuit, sign language, Pidgin English, Ukranian, Italian, German, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, "Lebanese", Portugese, Greek, Cantonese, Mandorin, and a few more sans doot.
