Premier Doug Ford’s office says the idea is under review but no decisions have been made

A spokesman for the premier says removing front licence plates will not be included in plans for redesigned commercial and regular plates that are expected to be detailed in the budget on Thursday.Ford recently said the look of Ontario’s licence plates will soon be changing, at no cost to taxpayers, but provided no other details about the redesign.

The premier’s office has said new designs being considered include one of the Progressive Conservative’s campaign slogans – “Open For Business” – which could end up on commercial plates. Opposition politicians have slammed the upcoming design change as a waste of money and an attempt to force the government’s partisan slogans onto the vehicles of Ontario drivers.

They really meant it when they said they would go line by line to find savings in the government. Bravo Mr. Premier fordnation

I wonder how you came up with this great plan Doug? It is a good thing that education, health and the economy are running smoothly and this is our largest problem and I can see the savings should be a significant decrease in our deficit! RESIGN DOUG!

What the fuck does this have to do with “serious”social, economical and environmental factors So he FUCKS UP our educational and health care system then says we don’t need front licence plates

Another case of the PCs fixing a thing that isn't broken!

Another dumb idea which will hamper police monitoring bad drivers
