Justice with John Carpay Ep. 6
from Justice with John Carpay Hosted by The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms
License plates--personalized, vanity, specialty, or ordinary--have been the subject of court actions both here and in the US for the last 40 years. It's a complicated topic, pitting government speech against free speech and, often, political correctness against common sense.
