It's Ford's turn to mark his legacy .... \:\|

 Quote:
Ontario’s long-standing “Yours to Discover” licence plate slogan is about to expire.

Premier Doug Ford has confirmed what the Star and Global News reported Friday: his Progressive Conservative government is changing the motto that’s adorned plates since 1982.


 Quote:
An insider, speaking on condition of anonymity in order to discuss government machinations, said the government is also looking at following Quebec and many American states by getting rid of front licence plates.

UPDATE: A Place To Grow is the new tagline

is it not an April fools joke re. the OPEN FOR BIDNEZ thing? LMAOOOO
we sound like a desperate 59yr old prostitute in that case!

scrapping the front plate would be fucking awesome.

the one good thing he did was scrap drive clean tests for all regulars cars/suv's! that's a win.

Re: Yo momma 'Open For Business', no more front plates vFord

Open for business is slated for all commercial plates moving forward (i.e. black lettering)

TBD for personal vehicle plates (i.e. blue lettering.) . Not sure about the green plates?

Skimmed it, there really isn't much benefit to a front plate aside from some criminal shit, otherwise this is the strong point:

Increases safety in general
 Retro reflective material on front
of car increases visibility at all
times
 Provides some type of reflection
for drunk/inattentive drivers who
neglect to turn on their
headlights during dark hours [1]

As much as I (like everyone else) don't like the front plate from an aesthetic perspective, my thought is that it will remain in place simply from the police/criminal perspective. What benefit is there from removing it?

Re: Yo momma 'Open For Business', no more front plates vFord

They add a huge cost to our insurance premiums believe it or not. The front plates and their mounting screws dig into rear bumper covers causing need to refinish and replace bumper covers/components that would otherwise be left with a couple of marks that could be buffed off after super minor bumps. I'd say I'd be a fan of getting rid of them but with cameras everywhere now, they probably do help with keeping the average person honest but any criminal that is going to be difficult to catch anyways won't use legit plates or a legit getaway car anyways.

wouldnt it save money as consumers only pay for one, manufacturing less, so pollution down, waste down, environmental benefits, grass growing, birds chirping, deer grazing, etc...

Re: Yo momma 'Open For Business', no more front plates vFord

My guess is even if they were to get rid of it, the cost of the plates ($60?) wouldn't change, neither would the price of the sticker ($120?)

Re: Yo momma 'Open For Business', no more front plates vFord

Aren't new plates like $10, so that's $5 a plate.

The manufacturing process of a plate is just stamped steel. I mean making less will obviously emit less emissions/etc, but not sure if it's material...compared to the weeks of bickering at the provincial government in wasted salaries debating this useless shit.

Like is a front plate the biggest thing that needs these fucks' attention?

Just get rid of it without debate/banter and we are good

I recently helped my mother in law buy a car and the dealership said whether she wanted to transfer her old plates or buy new ones, the price was the same, $34 if I recall correctly.

Yet on this site it says the price of the license plate is $59

Strange, I haven't bought plates in maybe 3 years, but i recall going to the MTO and it was either $10 or $20 for a new set of plates. Definitely not $60. Mind you I was replacing those peeling B plates, so maybe it was a special price?

Fixed costs remain for making plates. The incremental cost of making one more, particularly a duplicate, is marginal in the grand scheme of making plates...

New tag line ... \:\|

 Quote:
A Place To Grow

It is a line from “A Place to Stand, a Place to Grow (Ontari-ari-ari-o!),” the province’s jingle from Expo 67 in Montreal.

The 52-year-old song lyric will appear on white and blue passenger plates after the Progressive Conservative government table its first budget Thursday.

As disclosed by the Star almost two weeks ago, “Open For Business” will be the slogan on white and black commercial vehicle plates.

Our plates have always used blue as the main color. Dunno what the issue is there.

The white lettering on dark background is kinda sweet, but a rollout would be super confusing, between dealer plates, diplomat plates, garage plates, commercial plates, etc.

Bubbled and peeling plates got free replacement if they're less than 5 years old. Older than that was at the discretion of the MTO agent.
