Decades ago I was a young backpacker and saw other folks with the maple leaf on their stuff. Went to chat and they admitted they were Americans who had sewn it on so people would be nice to them.

I was simultaneously annoyed at them (I'd have been pissed but they did buy me an apology pint) and proud of Canada for the reputation.
