The story, which I believe, is that they remember that they were born under the lily but have flourished under the rose.

Possibly how much a driver's licence costs? I remember seeing one t- shirt with a Québec driver's licence with "nous nous souviendrons" on it after a price hike. I think the government lost the next election.

Been a while. Here's a brief history if their plates.

I think you're missing the joke. "Nous nous souviendrons" is "We will remember". A definate threat to the government who brought in the rather nasty increase in licence fees. It was rather funny especially as I saw in in the licence bureau.
