TORONTO — The latest model of Ontario’s licence plates will need to be replaced once the manufacturer has fixed “a problem” that makes them difficult to read in the dark, the Progressive Conservative government said Thursday.
In a statement Thursday afternoon, the government said 3M is currently working on a new “enhanced licence plate” which is expected to be available in less than three weeks. People who have already have the new plates will receive the enhanced version in the mail, the government said. “Ontarians will continue to receive the current plate, launched on February 1, through Service Ontario locations until an enhanced plate is available,” Consumer Services Minister Lisa Thompson said in a statement. “We want to reassure Ontarians that the current plate does not pose a risk to public safety.”
The Progressive Conservatives revealed the new plates in the 2019 budget, saying the government spent $500,000 on a consultation on branding, but had a new contract for licence plate production that saved $4 million.
To err is human, but to really foul things up requires government. 🧐
Plan succeeded! Payed twice to do a job that was never needed. Conservatives at their best. Oh so much better than the Liverals.
It's all the liberal plates fault for making Conservative efforts look like the poorly planned bumbling it actually is.
Seriously.... what was wrong with the old plates? . .... and why did they toss them? What a waste of money, would have been better spent on education everything fordnation touches turns to $h!t.
It’s not a safety issue? It’s a revenue issue. For example? How can the 407 read these plates at night? Sgt Koopman can’t do his job sitting around trying to read plates at night. The visual design was fine to begin with?
Plategate
Government does not solve problems, it subsidizes them.
Hopefully prisoners were not overpaid for this smozzle
Dumb fordnation
Can we call them defective Conservative plates? Right LisaThompsonMPP ?
Is this an issue for anyone other than the media ? We have Cletus the Slack Jawed Local stepping on his dick as he tries to get the trains to run let alone have them run on time. We have a possible pandemic at the gates. And you dorks want to talk license plate visibility ?
The next time anyone advocates for governments to fix big problems they would do well to remember they couldn't even help but screw up license plates.
I was following a car this evening and it was difficult to see the plate.

Government will continue to give out new licence plates despite admitting they're defectiveThe Ontario government will continue to give out new licence plates to drivers across the province despite admitting that they are a problem. 🤷♀️ there's a money trail somewhere that will tell the story. I just read that they also planned to recall them in the near future? Why give new ones out if they are just going to be recalled?
