Summary
Ontario cabinet ministers’ vehicles racked up 23 speeding tickets in three years, totaling over $3,300 in fines—with one clocked at 70 km/h in a 40 km/h zone. The government argues releasing names violates privacy, likening driving habits to criminal records, while opposition demands transparency, calling it a double standard since these are government-funded cars. Unclear whether ministers or staff were behind the wheel, violations averaged 17 km/h over the limit, with tickets averaging $144. Critics note the premier’s past complaints about speed cameras, yet these speeds were far beyond minor infractions. A court battle over releasing names is ongoing.
