The Canada flag is the only flag with a maple leaf. Therefore, the flag is the only flag that has a maple leaf with 11 points on it.
There are 11 points on the maple leaf that is on the Canadian flag.
11 Points on the leaf of the Canadian Flag.
There is no significance of the 11 points. Wikipedia states that it was wind tested, and the 11 point design was the least blurry under windy conditions. I am Canadian.
According to http://www.worldflags101.com/c/canada-flag.aspx The 11 points on the maple leaf emblem have no significance. Many people believe they stand for Canada's provinces, plus the federal government, but the emblem is just a recreation of an actual maple leaf.
The Canadian flag depicts an 11 pointed maple leaf in between two bars of red (each 1/4 of the flag in width).
The present Canadian flag is the red-and-white 'Maple Leaf' flag. It has two large red borders on each side, with a red maple leaf on a white background in the centre. There have been a few flags used by Canada. The one used immediately prior to the 'Maple Leaf' was known as the 'Canadian Red Ensign.' The Red Ensign contained the British 'Union Jack' in its upper left portion, with the Canadian Coat of Arms on the right, on a red background. Some Canadian provinces fly a 'red ensign' that displays its provincial coat of arms.
A flag just like the one today but narrower and had 13 points not 11.
A flag that was the exact same as this one but it had a maple leaf that had 13 points not 11.
While some believe the colors on the Canadian flag have no official significance. As well, the points on the maple leaf found on the flag, do NOT correspond to the provinces and territories of Canada, as there are now 10 provinces and 3 territories and only 11 points on the Canadian flag. The blocks on both sides are supposed to represent both west and east, the pacific and Atlantic ocean. Others believe the white means peace and honesty and the red means hardiness, bravery, strength & valour.

The leaf on the Canadian flag is a maple leaf. The reason why the maple leaf is used if because it represents nature and the environment which is an important part of Canada and Canadian history.
The maple leaf on our flag is considered to be a stylized version of the red maple. It was designed by Jacques Saint-Cyr. A true red maple leaf actually has serrated edges and pointed sinuses (the parts between the points). It actually incorporates the style of a sugar maple with the smooth edges and rounded sinuses.
