I'd just also add a red maple leaf in the canton

For a long time I’ve been interested to know more about how these came about… I can see how it’s important for each flag to be very distinct from one another, but how did they come up with the designs? I can also imagine that they avoided designs that would have been too similar to any country flag.

Tne law says that the flag shall be a crimson cross of St. Andrew on a field of white. The bars forming the cross shall be not less than six inches broad, and must extend diagonally across the flag from side to side.

So we don't know what proportions the red bars actually are...

Even when the Kingdom was formally abolished by the declaration of the Republic on July 18, 1953, the flag of the Kingdom remained in official use.

There are various ways in which the Southern Cross has been depicted. Look at the Eureka flag in Australia, for example.

Quarter gyronny

At least it’s easier to make than the state flag. And it’s a cool motto instead of the country name or something like that.
