The digital image of Maple Leaf that you posted just does not do it justice.
Here is my Canadian Casual Kilts Maple Leaf with my L&M beaver dress sporran (please note gold maple leaves on cantle).

Whilst we are noticing the graphic you show of the various Canadian tartan (a graphic from Canadian Heritage, part of the Canadian government website) shows the wrong tartan for Ontario (first tartan on the right from 12:00 position). Shown is Ensign of Ontario (STA3140) and is not Ontario's official tartan. The official tartan is this (STA6627):

A frustrating search for even an image of the OOT always seems to turn up Ensign of Ontario which goes to show how incorrect information is taken as correct on the interweb. How do I know this? Because 5 months ago I put an Order in with Slohairt - Keltoi Celtic Clothing for a kilt in the Official Ontario tartan. A search by John found the last 8 yards of Ensign of Ontario that Burnett's and Struth had in stock but none of the OOT. An order for custom weave from D.C. Dalgliesh and several months later the material has finally arrived in Canada. Should make for a unique kilt with the trouble in getting the tartan.
We at XMarks had a discussion already on Ontario tartans (I believe the pics have since disappeared which is unfortunate.
When I have my kilt I'll be sure to post pictures here.
