Vehicle License Plate Renewal

Just ordered up our new sticker on line. I noticed that while I pay $108.00 ( as of Sept.1 new fee), it says "Northern Ontario pays $54.00."

What ???? Why? And what is considered the dividing line for Northern On. as far as the fee difference is concerned?

ha ha Ha... Anything north of the French River. Sorry Sharon. Anyone who lives in the quagmire of southern Ont. and it is a quagmire, has to pay a tad more. Also, to add fuel to the fire, up here we don't don't have to put our vehicles thru the E-Test. I know it sucks but it's the only time we get to gloat. Am I gloating? :silly:

Sharon, it's also because 90% of them up there still drive a horse and Buggy. !!!!! Hydro is coming soon I heard.

couldn't help it. :) :) It's been a slow week.

and some of the people I have to drive around with in the GTA should be only allowed to drive a horse and Buggy out in a 40 acre field.

HAPPY THURSDAY.

North of Parry Sound...

Cheaper vehicle tags, no cost for stickers for snowmobiles (discovered that yesterday for my first sled!), no emissions testing, and you can run studded snow tires.

But fuel is more expensive... currently 105.6 in Sudbury; 97.9 in Vaughan, 93.7 in Peterborough.
Heating the house costs more.

I live in the bush.... way out of town... a whole 20 minute commute to work. I won't even start on the housing costs and property taxes... ;)

That 90 % isn't far off if the Mennonites and Amish keep migrating up here? What did you guys do to them down there to make them leave and relocate? Oh well, I'd rather see horse s##t on the road than a mosque on the corner!

Here in North Hastings we pay northern food prices ( except for venison costs) need etests, cannot use studs, but get summer hunting licenses. Our new hospital is controlled by Bellville so we must travel down there for any procedure greater than wood slivers or fishing lures in face.....If our income is high enough ( like twice minimum wage) we can deduct travel costs to doctors and hospitals.
Even though we may see two other moving vehicles on our trip, we still cannot use our cell phones .......or hold a beer in the canoe....

I just have to drive through Elmira to see the horses and buggies, didn't know they had started moving north. sure is lots around the Listowel Wingham area as well.
