I goggled it and judging by the cbc article it was reinstated May 2006. I wasnt aware how long this goes back, but it sounds like its just one colony that was fighting for this exemption. Most Hutterites believe driving is a priveledge and have no problem abiding by our laws.
Court challenges to attain these sorts of exemptions have become more common over the last 5 years or so.. Rogue, the slope starts somewhere doesnt it?
