Still not enough readiness to pass? This etest "not ready" cash grab is unbelievable. Tomorrow I'm going to Guelph, Woodstock, Ingersoll then taking it back in for the retest.

Passed today after driving all over Southern Ontario.

The actual test does not make any money for the tester, they can make some money on repairs to make it pass, but even that has a dollar limit for a conditional pass, so nobody gets rich on it.
They say that newer cars are not worth testing because most pass easily and keep saying they will raise the cars age higher so newer cars are not tested but never do.

This was discussed and debated back in the spring by the current government. Opposition parties attacked the government and reminded them that the program is supposed to be "revenue neutral". The government agreed and that's why they lowered the price, as to not "make any money". Of course this has absolutely nothing to do with income tax, health tax, environmental taxes,.....

Well, as one who benefits from the taxes that John and Jane Doe pay, can we count on you to forgo any wage and benefit increases?
I guess not, so we will all have to keep contributing to the trough.

Hey Dave. You may be on to something here. Is CP funded partially through taxes? Anyone getting CP here that may know the answer?

I donate my CP ........ to the wife. You do not have too far to go for it.

He was the one complaining about taxes and he gets paid from them, his raises cost us more taxes and a bigger deficit for our kids and grand kids to pay.
