The stars, taken from the arms, are shown in a circle of stars and represent Mr. Łucki’s Marian devotion, as a crown of stars is often shown in depictions of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The stars also refer to the emblem of the European Union and thus to Mr. Łucki’s heritage. Placed together, they express unity, solidarity and harmony among people, values Mr. Łucki associates particularly with Canada. The empty central space also represents Canada in two ways: first, because it is in the shape of a snowflake; and second, by making a visual pun on “cá nada”, meaning “nothing here”, an expression allegedly used on maps of Canada by Iberian explorers.
