Foreign Plates on Canadian Cars
Ok so I'm a self-professed eurotrash.

1. Anyone knows about the legality of putting up used European license plate on vehicles here in Canada? I've seen quite a few of these in Québec, in particular. Some even have the European plate mounted along side with the Québec plate at the rear. What about here in Alberta where only the rear license plate is required? Would this be treated as a vanity plate if mounted on the front?

2. Where's a good place to get them besides ebay? Perhaps places to look locally? I may consider plates from other regions of the world if they look cool. Perhaps Chinese plates? How much do I expect to pay?

3. What's your take on putting foreign plates on Canadian cars? Stupid idea? Cool? Ricey?

Yup, no more car, and we rarely miss it. Now I'm a proud pedestrian/cyclist/blader. It's easy to be carfree in Vancouver. Too bad more people don't realize it.

i'd probably still be carless if my don't require me having a vehicle. I'm surprised how much Calgary Transit has improved. Still nowhere as good as Toronto. I miss the overnight drunk bus.

Your Jeep is cool. :) I hope the novelty hasn't worn off yet!

There's no question, driving is fun and convenient. That's because it's been made so attractive by city planning. I just think it would be cool if we were wiser about our planning with respect to livability and sustainability.

Good news about Calgary transit.

(Ah, yes, the drunk bus. :) )
