the 2nd sign for Canada is wrong. There is only one sign, the first one is right.

@venredmondable i'm only giving out the information i got from Deaf friends, colleagues and professors.

I have seen both signs used for Canada. The first I have seen used by native Deaf ASL users that I work with. The second I learned in ASL class from my Deaf professor and is used by other Deaf professors and Deaf community members in my area. Both these signs are accepted and correct in my area, Eastern Massachusetts. Differences could be cross-dialectical.

Lets talk about Canada there are 2 different signs; the first one you sign is correct and the second one is incorrect therefore there is another sign as well... Canada represent the Maple Leafs Logo use an open palm hand and face it to your stomach because of history of Hockey...
