  1. Government allow this to happen. So they can mandate trackers on everything. Big brother wants to know everything. The police is allowing them to get away. Service Ontario corruption. Diversity strikes again.

  2. There was a lady who had her mercedes stolen when she was in the GTA, came back home in the algoma area via rental(also a mercedes) the rental was stolen out of her driveway 800+km away from where her original car was stolen… they tracked this lady to get that specifc car, its insane..

  3. Its only going to get worse when Dougie moves Service Ontario functions to Staples, minimum wage monkeys can be bought at a much lower price than poorly paid Ministry of Transport employees at the lower levels

  4. Employees of the motor vehicle registration should have access to personal records of drivers on NEED ONLY basis and should submit reports any time they access personal records
