Does anyone know what this flag means?

I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers.

It's so weird that people bought like 100 of these flags and there is no info on them at all!

I flipped the picture to make the flag the right way.

Submerge America under the ocean and terraform Greenland to be the shape of a maple leaf.
- I support this movement
  
  As an American, me too. We're a virus infecting the rest of the world.
- Also, continue to deny the existence of mythical New Zealand.
  
  Another map that doesn't show New Zealand!
  
  I've been to Atlantis, El Dorado, and Camelot however there is no way this place called New Zealand is real.
- Beep boop
  
  This comment was deleted, silly.
Please let it not be horrible, please let it not be horrible, please let it not be horrible....
- With the trucker convoy sticker and the anti-trans save our children sticker, I'd say the ods are is horrible.
  
  Ahhhh nuts... I didn't notice the stickers...
  
  crazy that "#saveourchildren" is somehow anti-trans to these people
- Any weird flags you don't recognize that don't involve rainbows are either sexual orientation flags (biaexuals have the best by far!) or some weird right wing shit.
  
  Sheldon would like a word
- youre ok? you seem mentally unstable.
  
  That seems uncalled for, care to explain?
No, but I'd bet it has to do with being a participant of some particular group or another which has been doing the far right the trucker convoys.
- Especially as it's being flown from a giant oversized pickup truck.
  
  And they have some shit sticker with a transport truck and the word merci which is thanks in french.
  
  100% some traitorous prick
  
  From the color... the greens???
- The trucker sticker on the rear window is a clue though it's too blurry to read other than "merci."
  
  It says #SaveTheChildren, safe to say these are bigoted and pro-convoy stickers
It's really hard to tell without more signage from that particular "protest", but October seemed to be a month where the "Save the Children Convoy" was harassing the city of Ottawa. They're a group of loonies who believe that queer folks are pedophiles, actual pedophiles are sacrosanct community leaders, and that flouride and 5g are mind control, and that everything fascists want to ban is child abuse.

So.... Could be related to that.
- The cut off orange sticker starts with #SaveTheChildren so it seems you're on the right track.
It's all the places in Canada where you can find maple leaves.
- trees don't grow up north
  
  Not yet, but Edmonton is helping make that happen.
  
  Who said anything about whole trees? If a car is there I guarantee there's some maple leaves stuck to it somewhere. Look in that space between the windshield and under the hood 😁
Just be happy you don't know... because it's undoubtedly dumb shit, and move along. :)
It seems like it is 2 stock images put together by the person. So it could mean anything.
- There were at least 50 of these flags across 30 or so cars that I saw. But yeah, those aren't HUGE numbers so if they organized offline and distributed the flags among themselves it could be about anything.
  
  That's really interesting, sounds like it is made to identify a group.
Beats me. Never seen it. Just deep dived for an hour trying to find it but no luck. Wonder if it isn't some new splinter Green group. Or a local Green Party's flag. Where was this?
- I saw it on the 417 between Ottawa and Montreal. This picture is in Ottawa.
  
  We sure have a lot of interesting people in Ottawa don't we?
  
  The Quebec plate I missed before. That and the trucker convoy sticker along with the green color suggest some sort of Quebecoise right winger.
I have to applaud these mental gymnasts. It must be exhausting to shift your identity from cult to cult.
It looks like the map has removed the border between Ontario and Quebec?
- Save us s'il vous plaît
- And Newfoundland is missing.
Gemini didn't know and Copilot was absolutely incompetent.
I think they're from the mirror universe Canada where they drive on the left.
- Adanac strikes again!
Make Canada green again?
