PM Harper's "Strong Proud Free" campaign. Is it meant to replace "Peace, Order and Good Government"?

Harper government starts ad campaign years ahead of Canada’s 150th birthday http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2014/10/15/harper_government_starts_ad_campaign_years_early_for_canadas_150th_birthday.html

"Peace, Order and Good Government"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace,_order,_and_good_government

Don't you think Canadians should be discussing a change in our national motto? I know that the right hates big government, peace and proper order (regulations). Don't let him get away with it. I mean come on we are 2+ years away from the 150th birthday of canada abd yet he's got a motto all worked out and rolled out? Using federal government dollars to try and remake us in a neocon image.

that Peace Order and Welfare were the original idea for the tri-motto. Conservatives heads would explode if they knew that even 100 year old Conservatives, knew that providing for all was the key to founding a country, and being competitive in the ling run.

Gasp........ socialism....... freebies..... etc
