New license plates to be issued next year should there be a new moto or stick with the existing?

If it's in the Latin, I have no problem with Fortis et Liber. "Strong and Free" belongs to Canada, not Alberta, so I would not want it on there. Nothing to do with aggression or anti-Americanim.

I also would really hate to see a free-for-all on plate designs. The veteran plates are still recognizably Alberta plates, as they strongly share design elements, even if they're not identical. If you want to show your sports pride, do it on a front plate. Leave the back plate the same for everyone.

I always liked 'Wildrose Country'.

Its Albertan, and you guys need to keep your slogan independent of the rest of Canada (as Alberta is a unique place!)

I like strong and free. It's interesting to note that in the article comments someone referred to that as to aggressive and "american". I guess they didn't realize because of the small size of their brain, that phrase is in our national anthem.

I don't like the "Liber" part, it sounds LIBERAL. It should be "Strong and Free"
better yet "Strong and Liberal Free" :lol: :P

That way if the Liberals ever get back into Ottawa we won't have to change the plate after the referendum :lol: ROTFL

Personally, I think they should leave the plate as is.

This is a hypothetical rendition of what the plate could look like.
This is not an actual image of the new plate, it was created as a parody...
