Canada's National (not state again) tree is Maple tree.
Maples are trees or shrubs of the genus Acer. They are variously classified in a family of their own, the Aceraceae, or (together with the Hippocastanaceae) included in the family Sapindaceae. Modern classifications, including the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification, favour inclusion in Sapindaceae.
The flag of Canada depicts a stylized maple leaf and is a prominent national symbol.

Most people know that the maple is the NATIONAL tree of Canada but few realize that each state (or Province) of Canada has their own state tree. They are as follows:
Alberta lodgepole pine, Pinus contorta
British Columbia western red cedar, Thuja plicata
Manitoba white spruce, Picea glauca
New Brunswick balsam fir, Abies balsamea
Newfoundland black spruce, Picea mariana
Northwest Territories jack pine, Pinus banksiana
Nova Scotia red spruce, Picea rubens
Nunavut No official tree
Ontario eastern white pine, Pinus strobus
Prince Edward Island northern red oak, Quercus rubra
Quebec yellow birch, Betula alleghaniensis
Saskatchewan paper birch, Betula papyrifera
Yukon quaking aspen, Populus tremuloides

The country of Canada has the Maple tree as it's national tree. It is not the sugar maple.

Actually Canada isn't a state just yet, and as for the tree the beaver chewed it down and ate the damned thing. Oh yeah, there's another maple tree in Quebec so all isn't lost just yet!

as Canada is a country, it would be the national tree, it is the sugar maple

I'm pretty sure Canada has a lot of different "states" (provinces, I think they're called), so you might need to be more specific. :)
