According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, the level of car thefts across the country is at a “national crisis” level. Maybe not in the way that housing and the state of healthcare are at actual national crisis levels, but still, pretty crisisy. More specifically, public safety minister Dominic LeBlanc said it is a “complex problem that may require advanced technology to properly examine what is inside shipping containers at international ports”, where stolen Canadians’ cars often end up en route overseas. I’m no expert, but first, don’t these shipping containers already have doors on them so you can open them up and see what’s inside? Secondly, shouldn’t the solution be a little earlier in the process than after your car has already been stolen and is about to go on an overseas adventure?
