The Ontario government has started rolling out new vehicle licence plates and drivers across the province will notice some changes.

Redesigned to enhance the quality, design and production of the plate itself, Doug Ford’s government says the new plates will put Ontario residents first.

In addition to looking different, the government says the new design will actually last longer than its predecessor. The government said that the new format will save taxpayers money in the long-term as the plates will be resized to align with the North American standards. Another change to the plate is the replacement of the slogan “Yours To Discover” with the new catchphrase “A Place To Grow”. The government says the tagline is a tribute to Ontario’s unofficial “A place to Stand, a Place to Grow” anthem, which debuted at Expo ’67. The province’s commercial plates will feature the slogan “Open for Business”.

Graphic designers must be horrified...

Why does the government have to WASTE so much of OUR money making such STUPID changes? There’s plenty of other stuff we need to spend money on! There was NOTHING wrong with the plates we had!! 👎😢😤🤬

Ugly

Yours to discover is better!

Was looking forward to not needing a front plate. Way to fold on that promise, fuckers.

So glad we have extra $$ for this but not for education & healthcare.

The teachers will hate these 😬

You know we’ve been trying to discover Ontario for the last 38 years so maybe we’ve discovered Ontario and now we need ’a place to grow,” EPIC

This is Doug Ford advertising Ontario as a prime location to grow cannabis. fordnation

Are we switching to one plate? Or do we still have to buy two?

A place to groan🤷‍♂️

Very subtle about 'grow'🤡

Are these going to peel away like the old ones!!

Can’t unsee the TorontoArgos colour scheme. There’s a black and gold version for Ticats fans, right? 😏

Looks very bad.

What I want to know is where is the buck-a-beer?

Trudeau let too many jihadist in Ontario. Hub.

Should say a place to leave if you want to be safe

Its a shame my peeling ones need replacing because that is 8s one hideous plate!

Anything is better than we have now - you can’t even see plates as we allow these old faded rusted out plates onto our roads.

I hope these don’t peel like the previous ones that started with the letter ‘B’

fugly!!! looks like someone's printing company got a no bid contract!!!

A place to grow what? Old? Poor? Weed?

A Place to Grow?!? Grow what? Grow Pot? Enlarge pants size? Increase provincial deficits due to ridiculous initiatives such as this one?!

Monopoly licenses plates now.... wish we had 50mil to spend on a nicer look, oh well Justin paid his MasterCard off instead lol

🎵Ontari-ari-ario..🎶

I hope they understand that perpetual growth's unsustainable. Earth's a finite enclosed system. If we keep taking things out of it, it will eventually collapse around us. The evidence this is happening is already visible to us!! We're warned NOT to make the graven image our god!!

For crying out loud. No chance I suppose they would have put a bit of Liberal red in the new design? Anyone who thinks this isn't just brainwashing politics is playing into their game.

Looks awfully PC, if you ask me. I don’t support these. Nor do I want them wrecking the look of my souped up 4-wheel drive

Ya you can start by putting highway signs on your 1940’s highways , have your tourist info booths actually open in summer. Worst province in Canada for travellers passing through, most people cheer when they cross border to Manitoba or to Quebec

One hopes they’re at least as well made as the gas pump stickers.

Are we bringing back the song from 1967 to match the plates?

*fires up 3D Printer*

Nice face-lift, but it's the product quality that must be improved upon.

Our colours are Red and White like the flag... not Blue!

A place to grow duh weed!

If you live in Manitoba and you’re unfriendly what do they do?

.Spotted one in St. Thomas, ON today.

So it's a new design. Fine. Don't try and convince us that it is better for us and going to save us money. I can't remember the last time I spent any money replacing a plate. It is notable that is conservative colours. If that makes Ford happy, go for it. It's a colour.

Make Ontario 1967 again? (Leafs fans would like that!)

Got them Saturday, kinda cheaply made but I like the looks .

They look like conservative signs

I didn’t know Deco made license plates.

Wow, that's ugly as shit

Not getting rid of front plates ?! But that would save drivers and the province a whack of cash; Half current amounts... Oh wait, if we ditch the front plate then were would the Police aim the laser radar? So which do you think is it - 'Safety' or 'Revenue' concerns ?

It's a licensee plate It accomplishes what it's meant to

Fixed it.

A place to grow pot.😄

fordnation I thought you were getting rid of front licence plates ?

Can we have a vote on these conservative plates?

I like it. We have the most boring plates so I am glad to see a new version.

Honestly ugly and reflect nothing of our province.

Hideous

A place too grow viruses lmao

How much did that cost to taxpayers? Looks ugly too, both plate & the license.

Disgusting.. a sick reminder of fordnation

Woohoo. Maybe they will stand up better then the 'B' series plates did. Or maybe, they will 'fall off' like the gas pump decals.
