Good day folks!
I read in my news feed this morning that the Ontario government is going to hand out driver’s license suspensions for those convicted of automobile theft.
The suspension will be 10 years for 1st offense, 15 years for 2nd offense and a lifetime suspension for 3rd offense.
Apparently in the city of Toronto alone, 12,000 vehicles were stolen in 2023. That’s 1 every 40 minutes, costing the Insurance industry a billion dollars a year….
I live out in western Canada and not familiar with our statistics but I can see merit in this decision, if they are unable or unwilling to go with longer prison sentences.

If it’s hot, wet and sticky and it’s not yours, don’t touch it!
