In 1964, the Nobel-Prize winning Prime Minister of Canada Lester B. Pearson assigned a committe the task of choosing a new flag for Canada among dozens of submitted designs.the Committee, after having eliminated various designs, was left with only three: a Red Ensign with the fleur-de-lis and the Royal Union Flag (Union Jack), the three-leaf design, and a single red maple leaf on a white square on a red flag. The single-leaf design was adopted unanimously by the Committee on October 29, 1964.
Some say the red represents the Liberal party, Perason's party, and the white the snow, but the answer is really it represents nothing, it's just a design that was submitted by an artist and they chose that one. Blue is traditionally the colour of the other party, the Conservative party, which was not in power at the time, so maybe that's why they chose the design with no blue in it, but who knows, maybe they just liked the red and white design better.
