PlaceCanada started work quickly on adding a Canadian flag to the canvas, with evidence of the flag's emergence going as far back as 00:37. However, hastiness coupled with a lack of coordination resulted in a poorly-proportioned maple leaf that would remain as such for the next eight hours. This struggle was noticeable by other r/place users to the point where memes were made; this exacerbated the issues PlaceCanada had with fixing the maple leaf, as random users would intentionally add and remove pixels from it for fun. By the end of r/place, heatmaps would reveal that the pixels making up the maple leaf of the flag saw some the highest traffic out of any pixels on the canvas. | |||

A commonly-recurring griefing attempt was to try and make the maple leaf green, likely as a reference to Canada having legalized recreational marijuana federally in June 2017. None of these attempts would ever successfully turn the maple leaf green, however; instead, replacing the leaf with an amorphous green blob. A successful griefing attempt starting at 43:17 would see the "CANADA" text turned into "BANANAS", followed by the maple leaf being replaced by a banana, which was in turn followed by the outer fields and background for the header being turned yellow. When [[TagPro]] was forced out of its position above the Canadian and [[Flag of Chile|Chilean flags]], the Canadian flag expanded upward to temporarily create a duplicate Canadian flag; this duplicate flag was, too, temporarily turned into a banana flag. A raid would see this duplicate flag temporarily replaced by [[Pickle Rick]] and [[Graham (Minecraft painting)|Graham]], before the space was reclaimed and made into the [[Canadian Provincial & Territorial Flags]]. | A commonly-recurring griefing attempt was to try and make the maple leaf green, likely as a reference to Canada having legalized recreational marijuana federally in June 2017.

While it continued to face frequent griefing attempts for the rest of r/place 2022, the first Canadian flag was able to stay mostly intact by the Great Whiteout, with only a few misplaced pixels by the end. | While it continued to face frequent griefing attempts for the rest of r/place 2022, the first Canadian flag was able to stay mostly intact by the Great Whiteout, with only a few misplaced pixels by the end. | ||
