How I got scammed by a major Ontario Crime organization, A.K.A.The Ontario Government.

I received my vehicle Licence renewal application 2 weeks ago.  I need to

purchase my licence plate sticker by November, 2013. It costs 82 dollars - up from

$74 dollars last year - that's about a 9% increase in one year - Who gets

a 9% increase on their pay cheque ??? However, if I buy it after September 1, 2013,

it will cost me 90 dollars. Yes, this is a rip-off in itself.

However, this is not the issue. The issue is, my 2006 vehicle requires

a Drive clean emission test this year.  After all, the Ontario Government has created

a wonderful emissions-testing system that is designed to control the amount of

pollutants vehicles discharge into the fresh air of Ontario - praise the Lord !

So, I take my vehicle in to have it tested at $39.45 - yes, they added tax - a

double whammy.

My vehicle fails the test. Now, the mechanic explains to me that the Government

has set a repair cost limit of $450, in order to receive a conditional emission test pass

This will be accomplished by having the mechanic run a diagnostic to find the

problem, complete repairs and an emissions re-test.

The mechanical runs the diagnostic and discovers that the electronic fuel pump needs

to be replaced - a cost well over $450 - so we do not do any repairs. A re-test is then

completed  and I receive my conditional pass (good for one year).

 

W.T.F. just happened -  I spent $228 in total and did not do a single repair

that would help protect the environment - my vehicle is in the same  condition

that it was prior to the emissions testing. All I received was a licence sticker

worth 84 dollars.

 

The Ontario Government does not care about the Environment, they

just took the money ran.

I was scammed for all that money for nothing !!
