Today, the Canadian Government of Justin Trudeau unveiled a new heraldic Canadian Crown replacing the traditional St. Edward’s Crown used on Canada’s coat of arms, police & military badges. The design replaces what the government termed “religious symbols” (crosses & fleur-de-lis) with maple leaves & a snowflake.
The Canadian Heraldic Authority was apparently consulted in this process. Reactions so far have been mixed but mostly disapproving.

EXARANDORUM 
Thank you, Fr Guy.
Add me to the ranks of the approvers.
I think that it is great that the King of Canada has a unique Crown and hope that the King of Australia will do likewise.
Looks like something the Green Man would wear.
Couldn’t help but think that Justin Trudeau is the biggest snowflake of them all! A Christian Crown turn into a pagan Crown man o man what next?
The snow-flake is, and has been for years, the insignia of the Order of Canada – to nobody’s disturbance. Anybody who wants a pagan crown, please use a laurel wreath (the emblem of a Roman general awarded a triumph) or a mural crown.
