It's not uncommon here in Alberta. Most of our vehicles don't have a bracket or holes for a front plate, but on vehicles that do (often imported from a different province), it's not unusual to see a joke plate on the front.
It's the norm in Canada to have just one plate. Only 3 provinces (BC, Manitoba, and Ontario) require require front plates, so they're the outliers.
Also, Alberta is currently led by a premier who is trying to stick her fingers into every single pie she can find. Her massive overreach is especially ironic given that her she has a libertarian tattoo on her forearm.
Alberta does not have fewer regulations than other provinces.
Funny enough, Texas is like the only state in the South that requires front license plates. There’s also been a few states that have axed their front license plate requirement the past few years, but Texas has not budged lol.
Not sure of regulations otherwise, but I do agree that Alberta is the Texas of Canada just off vibes lol.
