Not necessarily, though I'm curious, what about it gives that impression?

The color Pattern turned horizontaly becomes the French flag despite the littlle proportion change, and the golden Oak tree reminds the way that French royalty used the Fleur du Lis...
Besides that, there's Nothing on the flag that refferences the British culture of Canada...
You could say the colors but the Pattern they are applied is "Too frenchy" haha

I've started using a modified version of the trans pride flag with a central green band representing NB identities such as my neutrois self. I identify as bigender trans woman & neutrois, and it feels good to see representation for the other part of my identity. I feel much more comfortable coming out as neutrois to people who are visibly accepting of NB folk, and usually only tell people I am a monogender woman because of the extremely negative stigma on NB identities even in some GSRM circles.
Aside from that, I also like the flag much better with highly saturated fuchsia and cyan rather than pastel blue and red, but that's just my weird taste.

while i know you said you prefer the high saturation i think it'd match the other pride flags a bit better if it was pastel or such
I'm working to get the white stuff out, but this is what I have for the flag of my New Netherlands. It's based on the cross of Burgundy, with the colors changed a bit. I based the colors on an image I have of a character from who I based my idea of the New Netherlands on, in terms of fashion.
As a Brazilian who hates his own flag, i would say to You take a look to the monarchist flag, suching as adding the coffe leafs would help on the identificaton.
If you are going for a sultanate scenario i would tell you to put something on the flag that reminds São Paulo, once we have the biggest muslim population on the country, It would make sense as a New capital.
But i loved the general concept. Good job.
PS: Most of Brazilian's hates the idea of a Red flag, since politicall movements who fights socialism started the campaign "Our Flag Will never be Red", Just the cultural advice that Red in the Brazilian flag ussually has a cultural connection tô socialism and would kind of take a bit of a wrongpath on the understanding of your flag meaning.
Actually, I had used the shades of red and blue on the British flag for this.
As for the pine tree, like I said the maple leaf is a taboo symbol in the present of this world, and I figured the pine would make for a good substitute given that it is one of the more common trees in Canada.
How's this, a little less French?
Pratically those are only joke, i have no access to any software if not Fake Flag... That is not so good.
However I'll note your suggestions, and maybe I'll work a new islamic Brazil flag when home.
Used with attention, Fake Flag is not that bad.
Baathis Lebanon, from my TL where the soviet won the cold war.
Syria invaded Lebanon, but people resistance (and Iraq and Turkey opposition) save the little state, retaining its indipendence, but ruled by the Baath.
After the dissolution of Bagdad pact in the '90s, Lebanon was shocked by a hard and cruel civil war. Concluded in the early 2000s with the victory of the Pan-arab party (Baath party, but with another name).
The little country is still struggling to regain internal peace and prosperity; tourism is helping and the same does the money from expatriates. The real problem is Palestine to South and a new Syrian President that must chose a target to flax his muscle.

Some more "retro" Overheaven flags.
Confederation of the Korean People
Adopted at the end of the Second Korean War (1993-1994), this flag combines elements of the North Korean and South Korean flags, which are brought together by the three-color samtaegeuk - red for earth, blue for heaven, yellow for humanity.
Republic of Hong Kong
Adopted in 1990 (six years after Hong Kong's declaration of independence in 1984) this flag references Hong Kong's historic nickname, "Pearl of the Orient Sea" (blue = sea, white = pearl). The red-white orchid flower in the upper-left corner is meant to both represent Hong Kong, and serve as an homage to the city-state's heritage as a British colony.
Federal Republic of China
Red for the color of joy and good fortune in Chinese culture, rather than for communism. The white plum blossom symbol was chosen because of its association with the democracy protests which toppled the Communist Party in 1998, and was seen as an optimistic departure from the communist iconography of the old Chinese flag; in Chinese culture, the plum blossom is a symbol of perseverance through winter, and of the coming spring. The six petals can be seen as representing Han, Zhuang, Tibetans, Mongols and Uyghurs, which overlap each other and become one in the center. The two white stripes represent the Yangtze and Yellow rivers, which have historically nurtured all of the great Chinese civilizations. The combination of red (fire) and white (metal) can also be interpreted as China re-forging itself.
