You won't believe what's driving around Saint John
Good morning from the Fundy shore — the tide's turning, and so is New Brunswick. Let's get into it.
Now, I'll tell you what, there's always something in Saint John that makes you scratch your head, right? But this one, a listener sent it in, and it's got people buzzing more than a swarm of blackflies in July. Folks have been spotting official-looking City of Saint John cars — we're talking older white Corollas, the ones with the city crest clear as day on the doors — driving around with *Ontario license plates*. Ontario! I mean, come on. You see these things up near Millidgeville, down around the North End, even King Street. It’s not just one or two, either; people are seeing a few of them. It just doesn't make sense to anyone.
### Plates from Away?
The core facts here are pretty straightforward: * Several older model, white Toyota Corollas. * Clearly marked with the City of Saint John crest on the doors. * Driving around Saint John with Ontario license plates. * People are wondering why the city wouldn't register its own vehicles in New Brunswick.
It's one thing if it's a rental from out of province for a short job, but these look like regular fleet vehicles. It just feels... off, doesn't it? Like finding a Dory up in Grand Falls. Our taxes pay for these vehicles, right? So why are we sending registration money to Ontario? It feels like a little slap in the face to our own provincial coffers, especially when we’re always looking for ways to keep money here on the Fundy shore. I mean, we're not exactly flush with cash around here, and every dollar counts, right?
For Saint John residents, it’s just one of those little things that makes you go, "What's the deal with that?" Is it a cost-saving measure? An oversight? Nobody knows, and that's the real kicker. It’s got people talking down at the City Market, I can tell you. It's the kind of thing that makes you question the small details, and if the small details are off, what about the big ones?
