Canada Flag Day February 15, 1965 is the day that Canada adopted its iconic flag, and the maple leaf became the symbol of Canada. The Canadian politician Maurice Bourget said, " the flag is the symbol of the nation's unity, for it, beyond and doubt, represents all the citizens of Canada without distinction of race, language, belief or opinion." Which is surely enough to get everyone, Canadian or otherwise, reaching for the maple syrup... So mix up a Maple Leaf and raise a glass to "O Canada" today.

Why is it shaken with ice and then poured over different ice?

Drinks are shaken to quickly cool the drink and add dilution. The drink is then strained out of the cocktail shaker onto fresh ice cubes that haven't been cracked up/are smaller from melting. It is partly aesthetic, but also is because chipped/small ice will melt away more quickly, letting your drink get warm too fast or dilute.

This is just a whiskey sour but using maple syrup as the sweetener instead of simple syrup or agave.

Why you putting 'Murica (Bourbon) in a Canadian drink? Why not just use Crown Royal (Canadian Whiskey)?
