A maple leaf was present at each corner of the regimental flag.

It makes sense to me to choose a bird that is truly Canadian, is in ALL provinces, stays here all year long and is not at risk of becoming extinct.I know that the Gray Jay, also known as Canada Jay and colloquially in the north where it is most well-no one as the "Whiskey Jack" is not as well known to many "Southern" Canadians.
There is no reason on earth why the Canadian National Bird should have its name spelled in the American way! (Québec, QC)

Very mysterious and represents the souls of woodsmen who have vanished in the wilderness.Found all over Canada and hasn't received the recognition it deserves.Birds that are provincial symbols should not be considered.Par principe, j'ai attendu l'ouverture du site français pour voter.

This bird is found in all provinces .truly Canadian.My dad was an avid outdoorsman, fisherman, hunter, golfer.I love the character of the Whisky Jack, the fact that it's found in every Canadian province, stays in Canada year round - and, unlike the Loon and the Snowy Owl, is not already the official bird of a Canadian province.

No need to say more...A welcome visitor to mountain trails and campsites, I believe that Gray Jay (Whiskey Jack) would make the best avian respresentative for Canada. — Soumis le 2/12/2015 par Larouche Danielle

Its friendliness, grey colour, and association with boreal forests very well represents our country as a whole.
It is a hearty northern bird that thrives in winter and does not migrate south. It is very cute .
I believe they are truly a Canadian Bird.It is unique to Canada - the Aboriginals called it Whiskeyjack - Over the years explorers, trappers, prospectors have all recorded stories about this friendly bird.How can any other bird be our national bird? (Gatineau, QC)
Curieux.

I met two of them and heard a kerfuffle out in the willows and I thought the adults were in some sort of distress so I went out to see.
