Maple Leaves definitely represent Quebec.
Maple leaves were chosen for the RCAF's roundel because they turn brilliant colours during the autumn: green, blue, purple, white, yellow, orange, red, etc. Southern Quebec is a brilliantly coloured place after the first frost of the autumn. Tourists come form miles around to tour the area and admire all the pretty coloured maple leaves.
Also consider that Quebec produces most of the world's maple syrup. Only tiny amounts maple sugar are produced in neighbouring parts of Ontario, New York, Maine and New Brunswick.
Norman lions make sense if you consider that the first wave of French settlers sailed from the coast of Normandy, France.

Perhaps now that they are all states, they’ll be able to figure out their flag more easily.
Anyways, now the red, white, and blue in this has a whole new meaning.
Of course; in fact, the maple leaf began its life as an emblem for French Canadians before spreading to Canadians as a whole. The point was not to say that nobody could find representation in the maple leaf, but that it was not meant to represent any one group in particular.
