What about the white 'collar' on the upper side ? Does somebody know what it means ?

The three tooth white label "collar" is William's distinctive heraldic mark, the red shell is from his coat of arms.

We may be at an impass here, your bafflegab may have some cogence to some. Look we are talking the "personal flag of William" as designed & approved in Canada (the Canadian coat of arms as a basis). I originally brought up the Harp because of the animus the Irish have toward England witness the Rebellion 1916-17 & the IRA. In jest I offer up the Welsh natonal instrument as a sop. I'm slightly incredulous given your self directed higher knowledge of the subject, you would not pick up on the subtlety of the statement.
Half-Irish weaseltype. As in Ma and Pa were born in Eire. You know nothing. The harp is the Welsh national instrument? Ya really.

Time for you to do your research.

Wales isn't represented on the coat of arms because it was considered part of England. The harp was part of the Irish royal coat of arms.

Didn't say that just said it would be more politically correct to consider the Harp as representing Wales' national instrument rather than the Harp of Tara within William's personal flag given Irish animosity. How many times I must repeat myself? Is satirical comment a problem at CKA?

Not really, but new guys with a chip are.
Lighten up.

satire...hmmm...perhaps if there were elements of humour in your delivery it could be construed as such.

No chip.If dry doesn't suit, I'll adapt.

Really? Were you not asking me to spoon feed you this stuff a few posts ago? Wait, I'll just get on my Welsh harp.

Fair enough. I've heard this argument before, but they usually come from the same people who would willingly and happily erode other Canadian traditions.
Such as?
Anything relating to religion, basically.

Its an interesting flag, I do like maple leaves on the bottom, they remind me of the maple leaves on the Red Ensign.
