The maple leaf is a symbol of the southern part of Canada since maple trees only grow in the south. Therefore, one could argue that the maple leaf as a symbol of our country is not inclusive enough and we should change it.

My estimate of dividing Canada exactly in half north/south by land area would be somewhere around Fort McMurray. While Nunavut is the larges, and Northwest Territories the second, when you add Yukon you get 39% of the land area. There is a lot of forest in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, only Nunavut is predominantly arctic tundra. As far as species of trees, yes that varies considerably across the country.
Well over 50% of the population of Canada live in areas where maple trees are common.

Don't know what we'd change it to...but let's not go down the "Boaty McBoatface" path. I grew up in Ontario, made my share of Maple syrup which I love. I say leave the leaf.
