Big controversy in Canada: New banknotes have the wrong maple leaf

Yes, the politics of national identity can be fierce even in Canada, where new banknotes are generating outrage because, according to critics, they feature a Norwegian maple leaf. This is seen as an affront to the 11-point red maple leaf that has adorned Canada's national flag since 1965.

“It’s rather sad. It’s not the first time that it’s happened,” said Julian Starr, a botany professor at the University of Ottawa who specializes in plant identification and classification. “It’s almost Canadian in the fact that we can’t even get our symbols right.”

However, the Bank of Canada, which makes bank notes, says the $20 bill does not depict a Norway maple leaf, but rather a “stylized” design.

“We created an image for the bank note that represents a stylized Canadian maple leaf, if you will, so that it wouldn’t represent any specific species, specifically not the Norway maple,” said spokeswoman Julie Girard.
