Long before the arrival of the first European settlers, Canada's Aboriginal peoples had discovered the edible properties of maple sap. In 1860, at a public meeting held in Toronto, the maple leaf was adopted as the national emblem of Canada for use in the decorations for the Prince of Wales' visit. Red and white were designated as Canada's official colours in 1921 by His Majesty, King George V, in the proclamation of the Royal Arms of Canada.
So, in 1965, after several years of debate, Canada changed its flag. The Maple Leaf was a popular symbol, politically neutral, and most importantly, not British. Since its adoption, Canadians have put the flag on absolutely everything, making it the defining symbol of Canadianness. Georgia. No, not the state (though that flag has undergone a lot of changes, too), but the country. So, Georgia (the country) has been around for a long time â as in, since the days of Plato and Aristotle long.
