Canada's new national crown faces criticism for replacing Christian imagery with snowflake.

Canada's national crown has been redesigned to remove Christian symbols and replace them with a stylized snowflake, causing criticism from some who see it as symbolically divorced from the nation's past and even dubbing it the "Trudeau crown." The redesign was undertaken without consultation or debate, developed in secret, according to some experts. The snowflake symbolism was accurate, but some critics have denounced it as celebrating the leadership of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Trudeau's government has been criticized for being repressive, to the point of being compared to the Communist regime in China.
