Some Americans are thinking about throwing in the towel, saying “That’s it…I’m moving to Canada” but be forewarned friends, this is the kind of freedom you should expect in the Great White North …so pick your poison.
Drivers are being reminded not to take the holiday spirit too far after police received complaints about a distracting vehicle in Waterloo.
On Sunday, around 6:30 p.m., Waterloo Regional Police stopped a vehicle completely covered in lit Christmas lights in the Bridgeport Road East and Weber Street South area. Prior to the stop, police had received a complaint about a vehicle that was distracting drivers with its festive decorations. The driver was warned that having the lights on is not allowed under the Highway Traffic Act, but no charges were issued.
According to an Instagram account Festive_Camry the vehicle had been involved in a Santa Claus parade prior to the traffic stop, however several people have reported seeing the vehicle driving throughout the region previously.
