Gaelic license plates in Nova Scotia

Did you know that Gaelic is spoken outside of Scotland? In fact, it was very nearly Canada's third official language, and is still spoken in the province of Nova Scotia on Canada's east coast*. Now, Nova Scotians can opt to have their license plates in Gaelic. Every little bit of language representation matters. 󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
It may also be of interest to some that on Cape Breton, an island off of Nova Scotia (though still part of the Nova Scotian polity) and one of the centres of the Gaelic language in that region, public signage is provided in both English and Gaelic. Nobody has a problem with this.
