Canada is a huge and very varied country, so it has literally hundreds of different symbols.  A significant Canadian symbol is of course, the maple leaf.  \n\nEach province and territory has its own special symbols.  For example, a symbol of Nunavut is an inuksuk, while a symbol of Newfoundland is a flower called the pitcher plant.   The schooner The Bluenose is a symbol of Nova Scotia.  \n\nThese links will give you much more insight into Canadian symbols.   I hope this helps.

I'm not sure how to interpret your "hint", but Wikipedia says:\n\nThe Olympic movement uses many symbols, most of them representing Coubertin's ideas and ideals. The best known symbol is probably that of the Olympic Rings. These five intertwined rings represent the unity of five continents. They appear in five colors on a white field on the Olympic Flag. These colors, white (for the field), red, blue, green, yellow, and black were chosen such that each nation had at least one of these colors in its national flag. The flag was adopted in 1914, but the first Games at which it was flown were Antwerp, 1920. It is hoisted at each celebration of the Games.\n\nAre you positive your hinter is reliable? Maybe they meant how the colors (or which there are also five) do not represent the continents?

The swastika (Sanskrit svastika) is a cross with four arms of equal length, with the ends of each arm bent at a right angle. Sometimes dots are added between each arm.\n\nThe swastika is an ancient symbol found worldwide and especially common in India. The swastika's Indian name comes the Sanskrit word svasti, meaning good fortune, luck and well being. In Hinduism, the right-hand (clockwise) swastika is a solar symbol and the left-hand (counterclockwise) swastika represents Kali and magic. The Buddhist swastika is almost always clockwise.\n\nIn Buddhism, the swastika was commonly used in sacred art before the days of the Buddha image. As in Hinduism, it signified auspiciousness and good fortune, but also symbolized the Buddha's footprints.\n\nThe swastika has often been used to mark the beginning of Buddhist texts. In China and Japan, the Buddhist swastika was seen as a symbol of plurality, eternity, abundance, prosperity and long life.\n\nToday, the swastika is still used as an auspicious mark on Buddhist images and temples. It is also often inscribed on the chest, palms or feet of images of the Buddha. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is used as a clothing decoration.\n\nThe swastika itself has its origions in India over 3000 years ago. It was used to represent the balancing of spritual power/movement. It was later adopted by Buddhism because of its close relationship with the dharma. This symbol was taken and misused during the Second World War for the glorification of Nazism which interestingly enough got its symbol from Tibet/Nepal region.\nDr. Himmler (aka nutball of the SS) believed that Nepal held a secret of the "Aryan Kingdom". Sounds like Sci-Fi or some bizzaro movie plot but it is historically accurate-- Himmler believed that the Aryans were a superior human race among many things and that the Nepalese people were empowered beings. \nthey took the symbol to get power and used it to "protect" their radical political organisation believeing that they could get some sort of power from it.\nThe truth is that the swastika really was never meant to represent hate or nazism --- and only when placed on its axis does it refer to nazism--- at 90 degrees it represents the dharma.

Long Bow (from which the 'giving the bird' symbolism of sticking 2 fingers up at an enemy is derived - give me 10 points and I'll expand on that in the comments bit for you), balister (a form of large Roman crossbow), short sword, broadsword, halberd and pike.\nLancashire won, and remains the centre of civilisation and Gods own country, Yorkshire being famous for its pudding. UK residents are reminded of this in the mnemonic for the colours of the rainbow; Richard (Red) Of(Orange) York(Yellow) Gave(Green) Battle(Blue) In(Indigo) Vain(Violet).

It's actually kind of a nonissue. No one's tried to use that symbol, so it hasn't been added to the list. No one's refusing anything, the paperwork just takes forever and a day to go through. Many symbols aren't on the list yet, like the Christian fish.

The symbol of five intertwined rings was originally designed in 1913 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, but gained widespread popularity due to its promotion by Nazi Germany. Upon its initial introduction, de Coubertin stated the following in the August, 1913 edition of Revue Olympique:\n\nThe emblem chosen to illustrate and represent the world Congress of 1914 ...: five intertwined rings in different colours - blue, yellow, black, green, red - are placed on the white field of the paper. These five rings represent the five parts of the world which now are won over to Olympism and willing to accept healthy competition. \n\nMoreover, the six colours thus combined reproduce those of all the nations without exception. The blue and yellow of Sweden, the blue and white of Argentina, the French, British, American, German, Belgian, Italian, and Hungarian tricolours, the yellow and red of Spain lie next to the new Brazilian and Australian flags, and the old Japan and the young China. This is really an international emblem. \n\n\n\nSome commonly say that the five rings stand for the five continents but what the man who designed it says would be more apt.

The most recognized is Wladimir Klitschko of Ukraine.\nhttp://www.klitschko.com/\n\nThere are different organizations in boxing that give out world championships. They're commonly called the alphabet organizations because many people think they're just silly with no unified champ. Klitschko is currently the IBF (International Boxing Federation) champ. Here are the others:\n\nNikolai Valuev - Russia - WBA (World Boxing Association)\nHasim Rahman - USA - WBC (World Boxing Council)\nSergei Lyakhovich - Belarus - WBO (World Boxing Organization)

money in general but us dollar specifically .\n****************************\nThe sign is attested in business correspondence between British North America and Mexico in the 1770s as referring to the Spanish-Mexican piastre. The piastre was known as "Spanish dollar" in British North America, and in 1785, it was adopted as U.S. currency, together with both the term "dollar" and the $ sign.\n\nThe sign's ultimate origins are not certain. The most widely accepted explanation, according to the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing, is that "$" is a corruption of the letters "PS" or "PS" (for 'peso' or 'piastre' - especially the former, as each letter could represent each syllable of "Pe-So") written over each other in Spanish. Eventually, the 'P' was reduced to a vertical line.\n\nAnother possibility is that it derives from the British notation 8/ for eight shilling, referring to the Spanish 8 reales coin ("piece of eight"), which later became the USA dollar. Others derive it from the Portuguese Cifrão sign &#92;mathrm{S}&#92;!&#92;!&#92;!&#92;Vert.\nStill another explanation holds that the dollar sign is derived from (or at least inspired by) the mint mark on Spanish colonial silver coins ("real" or "piece of eight") that were minted in Potosí (in present day Bolivia). The mint mark was composed of the letters "PTSI" superimposed on one another, and bears an undeniable resemblance to the single-stroke dollar sign (see picture). The Potosí mine is generally accepted as having been the largest single silver strike in history, and silver coins minted in Potosí would have been in common use in colonial America.\n\nEarliest usage wrote the sign with a single vertical stroke. For some time, the double-stroke symbol &#92;mathrm{S}&#92;!&#92;!&#92;!&#92;Vert was common, but is now again falling out of use\n*******************************\nIt is sometimes said that the dollar sign's origin is a narrow\n"U" superimposed over a wide "S", "U.S." being short for "United\nStates."  This is wrong, and the correct explanation also tells why\nthe $ sign is used both for dollars and for pesos in various\ncountries.  The explanation is not widely known, maybe because not\nmany people would think to look for it in a book called A History\nof Mathematical Notations, Volume II: Notations Mainly in Higher\nMathematics by Florian Cajori (published in 1929 and reprinted in\n1952, by Open Court Press).  Cajori acknowledges the "U.S." theory\nand a number of others, but, after examining many 18th-century\nmanuscripts, finds that there is simply no evidence to support those\ntheories.\n\n   Spanish pesos were also called piastres, Spanish dollars, and\npieces of eight.  (The piece of eight was so called because its\nvalue was eight reales.  Some countries made one-real coins by\nslicing pieces of eight into eight sectors; the still-current U.S.\nslang "two bits" for a quarter of a dollar may refer to this,\nalthough "bit" denoting any small coin -- as in "threepenny bit" --\nwas already in use.)  The coins were circulated in many parts of the\nworld, much as U.S. dollars are today.  The coins were so well known\nthat, when the U.S. got around to issuing its own silver coinage\n(U.S. dollar coins first appeared in 1794), it simply replicated the\nSpanish unit's weight and hence value, and even one of its names; so\nit was natural to use the same symbol.\n\n   Since three of the four names given above for the Spanish dollar\nstart with p (and pluralize with s), it was natural for\nabbreviations like p and ps to be used.  Sometimes ps was written\n    s\nas P  -- P with a superscript s.  The superscript was a common way\nof rendering abbreviated endings of words -- we see vestiges of it\ntoday in the way some people write "10th".  Now,

Yellow \nThis is the symbol of light and purity. It speaks of youth, happiness, the harvest, hospitality, love and benevolence. But since it is also taken as off-white, it can be the color of degradation or cowardice.
