Update: I forgot to mention. In Thursday’s National Post there was an Alberta on a Vanity Mission essay by Kevin Libin which noted the general foolishness of statist re-branding efforts. What really caught my eye though was that one of the proposed new Alberta license plate slogans is apparently Strong and Free, and, apparently, the Edmonton Journal editorialized that said slogan “Sounds distinctly American”.

But here’s the thing. The Alberta motto, on the Alberta Coat of Arms, has been, for over a hundred years, since Alberta’s inception, (in Latin) Fortis et Liber, which you might note if you translate it back into English literally means Strong and Free. Oy. You know, when I first started reading the Journal forty years ago, it was in my opinion a balanced centrist newspaper. It is now, in my opinion, a communist waste of ink, which is why I canceled my subscription a couple years ago.
Personally, I think that if we Albertans are going to change our licence plate slogan, we should actually change it to Fortis et Liber, or failing that, Bei Mir Bist Du Shein (or in English, “To Me You’re Beautiful”, see video).
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Wednesday night comedy show, here is the inimitable chazan Shepsil Kanarek performing his famous Audition sketch (8:34).
Note the “Eggs […] is good for the voice” line at 2:55 ~ you’ll need that to understand a later part of the sketch. Now how much would you pay for that? But wait, there’s more, a clip at 7:50 from Menasich Goodman’s famous sketch. Because, remember, our motto here in the SDA LNR studios is: What, from eclectic you want, already?
