    The truth of the matter is, Canadian laws are intentionally non-sensical and intentionally don’t address the root cause of crime. Our country’s leaders are openly engaging in numerous large scale scams not the least of which is the stolen car market. How do you think alllllll of these stolen cars wind up in Africa and SE Asia? Shipping manifests, inspections, public awareness of the string of thefts. How does the government manage to always miss these blind spots do you think?

      I’m no expert, but wouldn’t it be very expensive to ship a bunch of cars to a different continent? Particularly stolen ones?

        Yea but not as expensive as shipping a bunch of cars and also paying full price.

        A quick google tells me 90% of the legal trade is shipped by boat, so you are paying for the boat regardless.

        Not really. Those don’t go on specialized car freighters, they’re just packed into a shipping container.
