It doesn't have to be taken in the context of "freedom" as is implied. I've heard it said that Albertans are more willing to take risks - such as opening your own business - than some in places like Ontario would be. So the "free" could be used in multiple contexts to represent that we not only have the opportunity to tread our own path, but that we are willing to do so.
Your viewpoint is completely understandable, however, and I'm not necessarily trying to change it. Primarily because it is such a Canadian way to think.
