It may be worse. They got rid of the crosses on our flag and the rest of its history and symbolism - I.e. the Red Ensign - and replaced it with meaningless 60's pop art that doubles as the Liberal Party logo.
If I recall, that legislation was rammed through Parliament despite being extremely unpopular because of the opposite, passionate pride most Canadians felt for the Red Ensign.
The flag persists because whole generations have come and gone since then, so Canadians are used to the Maple Leaf over the Red Ensign.
Same with Canadians saying happy Canada Day over happy Dominion Day!
Americans now say happy 4rth of July instead of happy Independence Day.
I would be angry if Congress changed Old Glory. Like the Red Ensign, she has been added to, but never replaced.
In wartime, flag bearers carried her into battle. When she was dropped, she was picked up again, often at great peril, in order to remain waving.
Jerks who change such cherished symbols of their nation such as her flag are unkind to their forefathers and ancestors. Their legacy is that of leaving their nation that greater a dearth of heritage. Shame!
Wow, and I thought things were bad over here.

Ah yes, the Maple Leaf Flag.

Last Christmas the Church of Sweden declared Greta Thunberg the successor of Jesus on 12/01/2018.

I was born and raised in the Church of England, but I left Anglicanism for similar reasons of lunacy.
Thomas Hooker of MA, er, CT was right.
Now, instead of worshipping my Creator in my Church, I worship the Holy Spirit within the Temple that is myself.
I am my own Church.
And I worship the Lord of the Stars. ?
That IS blasphemy, or at least way too close to it for my comfort.
And you do not require authority. You are an equal to the Pope in the Vatican.
Thus, you need only your reason to uncover the truth.
The Church of Sweden is an authority.
Yet, you, who have none, saw where the Church of Sweden was blind!
