Greetings Alexander!

Which capital--Toronto or Ottawa? :-)

Just wait. Sooner or later some bonehead will come up with the idea that 
vehicles old enough to not have any anti-smog equipment, should be 
retrofitted.

Oh gimme a break! I wonder if I can redirect my tax dollars in such away that 
law enforcement doesn't see any of it. There are *far* better things they can 
be doing instead of driving around all day, harassing motorists.
 #AB#> -Other than commercial vehicles liscenced in their home state and

 #AB#> even registered here!?
I don't think that they could, save for roadside "spot" checks.
 #AB#> Same goes for private vehicles, and will they be bothering those of
 #AB#> us with exempt vehicles cause it registers on their troll mobiles?
That wouldn't surprise me. Double or triple the probability if the fisherman 
is a bona-fide tree hugger.
 #AB#> I can see any number of flaws in this, and I'm only glad I'm not
 #AB#> part of the initially affected cities, this is going to get very
 #AB#> messy.
I think I'm about ready to move off-planet.
