General Road and Highway Discussion

MNGECAKE is fairly bad. There was a pretty infuriating story a little while ago about a fellow with the last name Grabher having his plate disallowed in Nova Scotia after several decades. He had some good quotes about them wanting his birth certificate back next, and so on.

That one was interesting in that, especially with the current president, I thought the complaint itself was well-founded, but the response after a brief investigation should have been “it’s his name. He can keep the plate.” If the investigation had found instead that the plate was owned by a dudebro who thought it was hilarious, then there should have been the possibility of it being pulled.

By contrast, I thought the complaint about ASIMIL8 in Manitoba was ridiculous on its face, and the more I think about it the more ridiculous I think it is.
