Ontario, Canada banning CB's
- Thread starter Sonwatcher
- Start date
Just a head's up on that amateur radio operators were removed from the list. You can transmit when driving. It doesn't mention CBers.
Having watched the last few weeks, lots of people are still suing their cell phones. It's not often that you get a chance to observe CBers in the middle of a transmission, unless of course, you're on the highway. I should point out however that this law will not stop users of any types of radio equipment.
Anyway, here's the link to the announcement.

WTF is that supposed to mean? :angry: Go live in China or North Korea if you want to know what a communist country is. At least we have provisions for dumping our government if the majority rules which is more than you guys can do. You are stuck with your government for a solid 4 years regardless. Now who looks more like a communist country?
relax comrade.your rights are eroded everyday by your so called big brother.:thumbdown:
The article points out a 'proposal' to ban CB radios. Governments don't always get the things they ask for - if the people can object and register their protest. They have no more right to take away this privilege than our own government does. If Canada 'cans' CB's; they are suppressing free speech. This is true because people can listen to the CB radio; the nature of the conversations is public domain. They stand nothing to gain and a lot of creditability to lose if they take it to the next step. Makes no difference if it is a trucker or a non-trucker; the gov't would be breeching that agreement/law. It clearly appears to be an act of government intrusion on the ability to express oneself freely under the guise of a safety regulation proposal. Because - that would be the net effect...
When any government tells the people what they will have - and leave the people out of the loop to make that decision - they call it tyranny...

Someday that law will be here in the good ol U.S.A. and when that happens i will retire from driving a semi truck. It gets scary when you pass another truck at night and the driver is on their lap-top computer. i have seen this many times lately. Hmmmmm where is their minds ???? Not on the road.
Sounds just like Colorado, we're a :right to fire state" but I will say that the mounties so look ghey in those pants.

They would look even moreso without them.
Second thought,which pants? The jodhpurs? I agree with that. The regular pants are fine but those jodhpurs,thankfully, are just part of the dress uniform.
At least we don't have things being done in the name of "Homeland security". Now THAT is big brother at it's finest.
I'm from Ontario.
They have been talking about doing this for years. But from what I hear its actually going through. Its includes cb and commercial radio.
The people pushing this law have no idea how hard it going to make life for truckers, people that work in the bush or companies using commercial gear.
I can't believe its actually going through.....Its one of the most retarded laws I've heard of in awhile.
It a perfect example of just how many village idiots there are in the Ontario Government.
There is most likly some self rightious a$$hole trying to move up in politics behind this crap.
They don't spend their time with worth while causes like child abuse, rape, crime, lowering taxes, creating jobs ( lots of unemployment in Ont.), etc etc
No... the big priority are those people talking on 2 way radios while they drive.
Our Canadian tax dollors at work....
I'm sure someone could train monkeys to do a better job
F#cken retarded idiots!
Bushwhacker, I agree. Somewhere, someone behind this is probably running around with a piece of paper with stats showing the reasons for accidents. High on the list is driver inattention and that has been snowballed into what this has become.The belief that using a handheld communications device will cause driver inattention and thus cause accidents is what I suspect is behind this. As for someone wanting to move up thru government,maybe but don't rule out MADD. MADD makes me mad with their self righteous extreme policies.
