What did they depict first on the Canadian flag that they had to cover with a maple leaf afterward?

Fig leaf, not maple leaf. Heh.
Exactly, but I couldn't change the original text ;-)
The first flag of Canada was the British red ensign and it was that way until relatively recently (the sixties) there was a great deal of competition for changing the flag....one of the original suggestions was to put a beaver in the middle of it....but it was thought that no one would take a country serious with a muff in the middle of it's flag - so it was decided to cover the beaver with a leaf.
Uhu... now it is all illuminated. Many thanks, Shoshana!
That's what I was thinking Dick. I see Great Minds think a like. OK Mediocre Minds.
Well, you both should consider another point: there ain't no fig trees in Canada...
Hmm, speak for your own mind, dear.
Their loss, obviously.
True. But permafrost and hungry bears will get the fig trees anyhow.
