I recall that Scott Joplin wrote (among others) "The Maple Leaf Rag" - any connection [to the Canadian symbol]?
Durn good question -- but as far as I can find, no connection. One source states that the song title has nothing to do with Canada, but refers to the tavern where Joplin wrote the tune.

P.S.: Sparteye, do you have a piano?
