i'd like to see fleur de lys somewhere on our flag

Sorry Jomathan but I don't agree with you for the followung reasons :
If someday this flag does exist. It will mean that all actual provinces will be an independent state in a non federal new canadian structure called the Canadian Commonwealth. As each member state will be considered as equal, if I put the symbolic flower of Quebec on that flag I will have to put also:
the pacific dogwood of British Columbia, the wild rose of Alberta, The western red lily of Saskatchewan, the
prairie crocus of Manitoba, the white trillium of Ontario,the purple violet of New Brunswick, the may flower of Nova Scotia, the lady slipper of Prince Edward Island, the pitcher plant of Newfoundland and Labrador, the fireweed of Yukon,
the mountain avens of the Northwest Territory and the purple saxifraga of the Nunavut Territory.

Thanks for the explanation and I do understand your point. Nonetheless I feel strongly about Québec's primary and special role in the shaping of our Identity and nation.

I totally agree with you in the present Canada. But once Quebec will become a state : a country, Québec's primary and special role in the shaping of our identity will be totally assumed by Quebec as a country. So inside an eventual Commonwealth of Canada, the role Quebec has played in the history of the new alliance will still remain in the history books of Canada but it will be considered as equal with every Canada Commonwealth states. In that sense Ontario's primary and special role in the shaping of our Canadian identity will be expressed mostly in the State of Ontario but outside of this country, Ontario or any new state of the Commonwealth of Canada will be considered as equal in the union.

When an ancient province or territory becomes a state, there is no preponderance in the status of the new state over the other parts of the Commonwealth of Canada. If a state wants to promote it's identity or it's history, it's up to the new country to do it as any country of the world at it's own expenses.
