It is in the anthem and good fit there, but is not, IMO, appropriate for a provincial license plate.

Wow, we are at opposite ends of the spectrum. All I hear when I read that phrase "Strong and Free" is the line of the anthem being sung in my head.

I think Resolute 14 is correct, we need to stand up more and have more of a "don't tread on me" attitude.
