	Toronto Coat of Arms
		The Toronto coat of arms was designed recently (finally approved by Toronto city council in October of 1998) for the newly-amalgamated megacity of Toronto.
		The beaver and bear are two of the original inhabitants of the area; the beaver also suggests industry and Canada, while the bear (presumably taken from the crest of the provincial arms) represents strength and a tendency to swallow up one's neighbors.
		In the centre is a red maple leaf, meant to represent Toronto's position as the capital of Ontario (although this would have been more properly symbolized by a gold leaf on a green field, which would have severly clashed with the rest of the arms).

		The choice between coat of arms and none-coat of arms flags IMHO depends chiefly on the political views of the one who hoists it: between 1990-1994, when a conservative government was in power, almost all flags hoisted were with coat of arms.
		The flag with coat of arms is optional variation of the national flag, and not at all the state flag.
		It has the coat of arms in the center, but this is surrounded by two branches, much like the two olive branches on the UN flag.

	Canada - Coat of Arms (Canada)
		A decision to apply for arms had been made early in 1919, but it was two and a half years before there was agreement on the design and form of authorisation, mainly due to objections from the College of Arms and legal opinions of British Law Officers.
		The arrangement was based on the mistaken belief that putting the white band at the top of the shield was analogous to the label of an eldest son on the arms of his parents.
		On 25 February 1931, slightly in advance of the Statute of Westminster, which gave legal form to Balfour's 1926 definition of Dominion status, the 1922 flag of the Governor-General was replaced by the royal crest on a blue flag, to show that he now represented the sovereign, and not the British government.

	HeraldicAmerica: New Arms for a Mega Toronto" by John J. Kennedy
		The designer of the arms, which the City Councillors voted to adopt by 32 to 17, was the Chief Herald of Canada, Mr.
		Moreover, it was humorous to read that some Councillors preferred raccoons, red foxes or even the offensive-smelling skunk as worthy supporters for the new arms, all of which have the commonplace virtue of being found within the Megacity's limits and grubbing in our backyards or garbage pails or dashing though our parks at odd hours.
		Some too questioned the very need for a civic coat of arms for Toronto, though these same Councillors curiously voted in favour of Mr.Watt's design when the question was put to the vote.

		In this myth, the legitimacy of the ruling house is confirmed when a stag enters; the animal is hunted, and the border of the territory is defined by the chase; the future ruler is the individual who eventually slays the stag.
		What the many families displaying the stag in their arms have in common is that they were originally part of the great Eoghanacht tribal grouping, which dominated Munster until the time of Brian Boru.
		It is worth mentioning here that the original work did not include and heraldic (coat of arms) information and that this was added to posthumous publications by unscrupulous publishers, presumably to increase sales.
