Losing the demerits or having them against you is what I'd be worried about more than the amount of the ticket.
The amount sounds bang on as I have a heavy foot on the highway and been dinged too.

He has a California license. I don't believe that they can take demerits away for a speeding violation that happened in Manitoba.
From the sounds of it, you were indeed speeding, and the fine was appropriate. Your best bet is to show up and the police officer may not show up, which would get the ticket thrown out.
You can also show up to have the ticket amount reduced. That is usually done on an economic needs basis (not sure what the law in Manitoba is), but you will need to provide evidence about how much you make. If you make a lot, the judge may charge the whole fee anyways. This depends on the individual judge a lot of the time.
