Our dollar is quite strong actually. I dare say the Province I live in is basking in a very flush economy full of opportunities and drenched in money. For a Province of around three million people the recently announced surplus was 8.5 Billion Dollars. In terms of financial success we don't take a back seat to anyone. -- See Ya On The Road 2000 Yamaha Venture Millennium 2004 HD Road King Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

All that is required is the photo identifying the license plate. I am not sure what in our Highway Traffic Act would allow such a heavy fine, but I suspect it is there. I heard a report on the radio that said the rider had negotiated the value of the fine "Down". Geez I wonder what it was before that. <g> -- See Ya On The Road 2000 Yamaha Venture Millennium 2004 HD Road King Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. |
