The national colors of Canada were declared by King George V in 1921 to be red and white. Red is symbolic of England and white of France. The 10 white and red stripes represent our 10 countries and the equality between them.
The Inukshuk represents the Aboriginal and First Nations peoples. Canada is a multicultural Country not only of french and English, but also the First Nations. I believe it is only fair considering that the First Nations lived here long before us, that they too deserve recognition on our National Flag.
