CANADIANA: Part 5
LICENSE PLATE SLOGANS
I was inspired the other night thanks to a fun little anthropological discussion I had with a lovely yet insomniatic other which somehow turned towards license plates and stuff - thus, I shall tell you all the little sayings on all the plates in the provinces and territories of Canada. In any case, since I haven't told you guys jack squat about that weird-ass country 49th-and-above for a while, that here'd be as good a point as any. So, here we go!
British Columbia: "Beautiful British Columbia"
(Blue. Flag in middle. 'nuff said.)
Alberta: "Wild Rose Country"
(Red with a rose at the top.)
Saskatchewan: "Land of the Living Skies"
(Green, and there's a cute little wheat sheaf too!)
Manitoba: "Friendly Manitoba"
(Dark blue lettering, and ironic considering Manitoba was founded by rebellious Metis . . . heh . . .)
Ontario: "Yours to Discover"
(Blue. Also total bull . . . discover my ass, capital province-thingy jerks . . . erm, probably . . . . .)
Quebec: "Je me souviens"
(used to be red with "la belle province" (the beautiful province) but now it's blue/black and says "I remember" . . . kinda freaky, eh?)
Newfoundland: "Newfoundland and Labrador"
(Yeah, they're pretty boring . . . . .)
New Brunswick: "New/Noveau Brunswick"
(Pretty straightforward . . . it's red . . .)
Nova Scotia: "Canada's Ocean Playground"
(Nice, eh? Plus it's got a picture of the Bluenose on it! Yippie! Blue letters.)
Prince Edward Island: either "Birthplace of Confederation" or "Home of 'Anne of Green Gables'"
(Well, either way, it's PEI summed up: smallest province, longest names and titles. Good stuff.)
Yukon Territories: "The Klondike"
(Either red or dark black/blue lettering [I'm colour-blind tonight], and a picture of a guy panning for gold. Cute, ne?)
Northwest Territories: "Explore Canada's Arctic"
(Blue lettering, but that doesn't matter . . . the plate ITSELF is shaped like a polar bear! Come one people! It's kickass!)
Nunavut: "Explore Canada's Arctic"
(Alright, so Nunavut's not even ten years old yet . . . and sure, it's exactly the same plate as the Northwest Territories but with a different name at the bottom . . . but still! Polar bear!!!)
So yeah, that's license plates. Hope you enjoyed it.
