I was replying to someone who did not specify a “minimalist red maple leaf on a white background”. They said that Canada should trademark all depictions of maple leafs on all product packaging.
I was also joking. I should know by now that people on the Internet are bad at picking up my tone.
What about maple syrup? American made syrup has every right to the leaf, to represent the tree of origin.
You geese did not invent the maple tree.
Maple leaf imagery can be created without using the Canadian flag, which is a distinct minimalist interpretation of the leaf in red.

Nope, they said “that maple leaf” meaning specifically the one on the flag.
sorry, it’s our Maple Leaf now you’re going to have to draw a slightly visually distinct one, in a different color
