Domo arigato provincial motto

[c9]

After seeing this page on US State mottoes, I thought I'd look up Canada's various provincial mottoes. First, let me say that mottoes is a word that looks wrong no matter how one spells it. Second, seriously! (most translated from Latin, Nunavut translated from Inuktitut)

Newfoundland & Labrador	Seek ye first the kingdom of God
Nova Scotia	One defends and the other conquers
Prince Edward Island	The small protected by the great
New Brunswick	Hope restored
Quebec	I remember
Ontario	Loyal she began, loyal she remains
Manitoba	Glorious and free
Saskatchewan	Strength from Many Peoples
Alberta	Strong and free
British Columbia	Splendour without diminishment
Yukon	none
Northwest Territories	none
Nunavut	Our land, our strength

I can't decide if these are collectively better or worse than the US ones. Michigan has them beat in hubris of course. ("If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.")

The PEI motto is particularly humble.
