If the United States has a Thanksgiving Day, Canada should have one, too. And if I design a flag for the United States Thanksgiving Day, I should design one for Canadian Thanksgiving Day.
The flag's proportions are 1:2, the most common flag proportions in Canada. The colours of the flag are the Canadian colours, red and white. The partial cross represents separation from England, and is in the shape of a T, for thanksgiving. A representation of the constellation Orion appears on the hoist side of the flag, symbolising harvest time. The constellation on this flag is made of thirteen stars, representing the thriteen Canadian provinces and major territories.

Canadian Thanksgiving Day

Ontario
You must admit, the current Onatrio flag is quite complex, along with that super-complex Union Jack. And since Canada is independent from the United Kingdom, their provinces could help display that fact by removing the Union Jack from their flags.
In this design, I a red background with a white cross. The red and white are the colors of Canada, and the cross hints at the United Kingdom, but doesn't scream it like the real flag. I took the green shield with leaves and transformed it into a canton for this design, and the result looks as Ontarioan as anything.
A masterpiece, if I do say so myself.
