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 grief 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. | 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.

The pixels of the second Canadian flag were first laid at (1645,1074), at 55:47. This flag would see a flag with a normal maple leaf created, but at 61:16, it was raided, and turned into a [[Flag of Peru|Peruvian flag]]. This new flag of Peru would then invade its neighbours, including the [[Second Flag of Germany|German Flag]] directly underneath it. This raid would be short-lived, however; and the Peruvian flag was destroyed as quickly as it had been formed.

This new flag of Peru would then invade its neighbours, including the [[Second Flag of Germany|German Flag]] directly underneath it. This raid would be short-lived, however; and the Peruvian flag was destroyed as quickly as it had been formed. As the space was reclaimed, PlaceCanada attempted to bring back the maple leaf to establish their territory, but the leaf was once again getting griefed--it was at this point when [[r/placeDE]] made its own maple leaf with the German tricolour, as a joke. With the sides of the flag missing and the maple leaf being a blob, the second Canadian flag was ultimately overrun by 72:48. In response to this, the maple leaf on the German flag had its colours changed to those of the Canadian flag, with a red heart in the centre. | ||
