White was the royal color of France before the revolution. The French Tricolor places the royal white band between the traditional red and blue colors of Paris.

In the Canadian flag, adopted in 1965, the white represents the country spanning the continent between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Yes, one of the designs that was in the running had those two broad bands as blue to mimic the oceans, but blue is not a traditional Canadian color - red and white are.
