 Transport Canada please wake up! 

Today it was reported in the Montreal Gazette by Paul Cherry that a ring of 42 people were arrested for re-selling vehicles with a disguised registration.

Where did they get this new registration from you ask!

Quote: “  the network brought 1,500 to 1,800 damaged vehicles into Canada during the last five years”

Then they simply changed the numbers with the stolen vehicles.  

When is Transportation Canada going to stop allowing this to happen.  It looks like we have a nationwide problem.  Scrapped cars allowed into the country with little or no problems.  Wonder if they were all equipped with the proper bumpers and immobilizers.

Again Transport Canada please adjust your priorities!   Please start working for the average Canadian consumer!
