This is my front plate: 
I carry it in the trunk along with a new mounting bracket so if I'm stopped I can say that I haven't had a chance to get a replacement since the accident. It worked once, about a month later.
It's been almost a year and a half now, so I'm starting to think that line of BS might be past it's expiry date.
It helps to be just across the river from Gatineau, blending in with all the Quebec cars with only one plate.

Shawn - Do you mean tinted lic plate covers? If so, they ARE illegal in Ontario too. Actually, any lic plate cover, even clear, is illegal here.
That being said, I have very light smoked plate covers on the front and rear which are very easy to read through. It may have more to do with photo radar or something IDK.

normally i hate front plates until i saw my front plate bent because of a idiot hit me (never saw who, probably while reverse parking) from front while it was parked. if it wasnt for the front plate i would have had a bent front bumper 
so hail the ontarian front license plate !!!

Yesterday I was handed my second written warning for no front plate in 8 months. 
I'm starting to think that my 2 1/2 year-old sob story about my damaged plate might not work much longer.
What's the fine these days in Ontario if the next steely-eyed peace officer decides that I've had enough warnings?
