Ontario Canada has an anesthesiologist with a “FENTANYL” license plate.

Was funny in 1995, not so much now.

So he went to the DMV and asked them to change it, and they wanted to charge him to do that.

He’s like, no, i’m not paying.

Eventually he writes a letter to his politician saying “please revoke my license plate” and eventually he gets a letter saying they got a complaint (ie: his) and the DMV wants to revoke his plate.

But he had to wait 30 days For the appeal clock to run out, just in case he wanted to appeal his own complaint.

Kinda funny, but kinda sad that someone paid $400k+ per year by the government wasted thousands more because he didn’t want to pay the $100 plate change fee.
