The uppercase G's lack of a spur... it just seems Canadian. Something about not needing the crutch due to our northern resourcefulness. The M's pointed top strikes me immediately as a play on the triangular shapes of inuit language, a tasteful nod.
Overall it really fits and is an excellent contribution to our nation's aesthetic. Distinctly no longer British, funny in a dry way, clean like a Scandinavian without the rigidity, forever fond of Expo '67 and slowly moving past colonialism without erasing it.
It'll suit Justin Trudeau's government perfectly. A nod to his father's 60's legacy but with a "because it's 2015" modernity. It actually kind of resembles the man himself with his native tattoo* and all.
