I, User:CharlieEchoTango, feel this image is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

1. it illustrates an article about Canada, which the logo represents
2. it is not being used for commercial use, which is against the terms of use
3. the image is only being used for informational purposes.
4. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it portrays the official symbol of the principle subject of this article.
5. This a rendition of a significant object.
6. The material is not used in a manner that would likely replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media.
7. No free equivalent is currently available or could be created that would adequately give the same information.
8. The image is of low resolution, which does not interfere with commercial distribution of higher-quality images.
