The Canadian Royal Crown sitting at the top of Canada’s Coat of Arms has received a 2023 update with traditional religious symbols like crosses & fleur-de-lis being removed in place of maple leaves and a snowflake.

According to The National Post,

“The new crown, which is a heraldic emblem and not a material object, replaces the religious symbols with more explicitly Canadian symbolism, trading crosses and fleur-de-lis for maple leaves and a snowflake. The St. Edward’s Crown, which also decorates police and military badges and various emblems of sovereignty, has been part of the Arms of Canada since 1957.”

The newspaper also claimed critics of the new design have labeled it, “The Trudeau Crown.”

Toronto Sun columnist Brian Lilley claimed Trudeau’s government intends on updating Canadian passports with the new coat of arms as well, which he says is being done “to change Canada’s symbols towards Liberal Party imagery.”

The irony of a snowflake being used in replacement of a cross was not lost on Twitter users.

“It’s official. A country of snowflakes,” one Twitter account wrote.

Several individuals declared the removal of the religious symbols a war on Canadian identity and Christianity.
