1. The upper horizontal white and green bands represent the rural, uninhabitable northern region of the country. 2. The lower horizontal navy band represents how 80% of Canada’s population lives in the southern region along the United States border. 3. The 10 vertical columns represent each individual province, represented by colours sampled from their regional flags, ordered by population descending from left to right. 4. The three maple leaves intersecting the vertical columns represent the three official territories of Canada, also sampling from their respective regional flags. 5. The Quebec column is distinguishable by its signature fleur-de-lis. The column is also taped to the other columns to represent her constant fight for autonomy within Canada. 6. The top left region is ripped away to reveal a black void, representing the absence of Alaska within its borders and the concentration of oil deposits in that region. 7. The bottom right features an integrated logo of the Royal Canadian Mint. 8. The packing label is derived from Canada Post and filled in with the BlackSans font from the New Zealand flag, as the font from the CBC, Frutiger, requires that you pay for it. 9. The flag also features the ripped British East India Company sticker, a recurring theme in all flags of former British colonies.
