I believe the issue with the maple leaf has to do with currency, not the flag. The leaf is stylized to begin with so it really doesn't matter. It does however allows for a nice seguay; until the 1965, the Canadian flag was a version of this:

As we all know (and as I experienced as a boy living in Canada), a new flag was adopted. Frankly, I hope the Aussies make the change.

Opps, you are correct sir. Now did I hear flag from a garbled source or did the garbling happen in my head?

You see that poem? - Canada fought both world wars under the ensign. Applies just as much to Canada as it does to Australia.
