When you arrive in Alberta, you have 3 months to change your plates to Alberta plates. To do so, you have to get an "out of province" inspection. This inspection is required even if your car is 1 day old & was plated across the provincial border.
While this might seem like a good idea, it's nothing more than a tax grab. You see, once your car is in Alberta, you're free to drive around with a missing bumper, rusted out car or my favourite example, the guy with NO door on his car (just two bars across it). There is no "certification" process when you sell a car.
This isn't about highway safety. It's about revenue generation. And the most humour part is that it's a "Conservative" government that engineered this. Aren't the Cons all about letting the people keep their money? Or so they & their blind, obedient supporters state so loudly.

I'm not sure what to make of you, I've read about 12 of your entries and in some your saying "people here need to stop hating on Calgary so much" yet in others you seem to share our opinion that Calgary kinda sucks.
Pick a side of the fence bud.
I both like & hate Calgary so I'm on both sides of the fence.
