"Their argument breaks down fairly quickly. If you're driving on a government built road with no license or insurance and hit somebody, boom you are subject to Canadian law. Personally I don't want to see anyone driving around with no plate. It just screams 'suspect' to me, and of course the cops will take issue with it. "
Well needless to say it sounds fishy when you read it out loud. I get the fact that they create paperwork just like it is created when you chat with a lawyer... Well not just like lol, but anyway it looks like the paper work wasn't good enough I guess. lol
I also see again this government thing. My understanding is that it is public not government. Roads are public, land that is maintained by the government is maintained by taxes, therefore, it is our roads. Just because it is brought up here I'm using this example.
Photon, you talked about vehicle vs conveyance, so comparing apples to apples. A vehicle is a vehicle no matter what colour it is or the tires or the fuel it uses.
There is a crap load of this stuff on the web. It's interesting to say the least. Stuff about a birth certificate. But it's Sunday and I'm not at work so I'll just read it tomorrow if I want to waste some time.
