Does the translation of Munit hæc et altera vincit as "One leads and the other conquers" have any sort of official sanction or preference?
What it says to me is, "One defends and the other conquers." -- IHCOYC 04:15 Feb 28, 2003 (UTC)
- The motto is translated as I'd expect it to be here: http://www.gov.ns.ca/legi/pubs/provhouse/symbols/coat.htm
- I will change it. -- IHCOYC 04:20 Feb 28, 2003 (UTC)

worth noting that NS is Canada's easternmost province, by virtue of the fact one square yard is on the grounds of Edinburgh Castle. And Lunenburg itself was on the back of the $5 for awhile. Kwantus
Is there any real reason the american colonization template is on the nova scotian page outside of the fact that Nova scotia was colonized by the french and english? I don't see the specific or unique connection to the province over any other colonized place. PullUpYourSocks 19:45, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
without any agenda but to see the truth told from a global perspective, i have considerably altered and will continue to alter piece-meal the history section of the article. i am more than willing to discuss the rationale i have had for these alterations. i found how the article was written to suggest that nova scotia is today some "new scotland", which seems to me a tourism push to have it seen so, not the reality. moreover, i could find no evidence of there being any community of scots (lallans) speakers and any prevalence of scottish gaelic speakers (as opposed to individuals who use gaelic as a heritage language), so please let me know what material is available on this. regards, matthew
