Reply to comment by winnipeginstinct in TIL: The Government of Canada has an office that creates coats of arms for Canadian citizens, and that all Canadian Citizens may apply to the Governor General for a coat of arms and even an officially-recognized personal flag by ryguy_1

While I agree that 1,000-3,500 is not exactly chump change, it's also within the means of most middle-class families.

To me, "Fuck-ton" usually implies only the very wealthy should even bother to apply.

That said, there's nothing stopping any of us from loading up MSPaint and making our own heraldry. I can make my own "coat of arms" that has pretty much the exact same impact on my life as one from the government.

My coat of arms is just a a pic of an old Ute with a ‘No root, No ride sticker on the back window, flanked by a body building kangaroo on the left and an axe wielding platypus on the right, on a field of azure.

I needed to see this, so I fed it to Dalle. I couldn't get the axe-wielding platypus to show up (must not have been well-represented in the training data), but the rest came through pretty well.
