If it was 2 years ago I’d give Ford props.
But emission tests became free for Ontarians since last year.

So realistically Ford just scraped another free program to save THEM money.
He probably thought about charging drivers again but someone smarter told him to just cancel it lol.

I disagree with the good news. The cost of renewing plates went up $40 to cover the free drive clean,but now that there's no drive clean do you think the price of renewal will go down? Certainly not.

While it was largely a cash grab later on it years when it first started it pushed a lot of rickety shit cans off the road. Clearly Dugie doesn't think much about clean air.

Meh. If it’s means one less hassle for me it’s a win.

I think it did a great job of getting a lot of horrible cars off the streets and now it’s run it’s course

worked out well for me, my car would've needed to get one done next year. But yea, it weeded out all the clunkers that needed to be off the road.

I sometimes wonder if we should adopt a similar structure to how japan does things with the way they tax their cars.
