Pleasant surprise: I went down to the Ministry Of Transportation office today at lunch. I figured that if I was lucky it would be 20 minutes to walk down, an hour waiting in line, 5 minutes renewing my license and 5 minutes to take the subway back, making for a 1.5 hour lunch. So I was shocked and awed when the renewal only took 2 to3 minutes. No foolin’! There was no lineup, she punched the form, ran my credit card through, got me to sign 3 things, told me to stand against the white wall and wait for the flash. I did, she handed my my temporary license and I was on my way. I had so much time left that I walked back.

It took me longer to order a chicken sandwich from Wendy’s than to renew my driver’s license. Who says a Liberal government is always inefficient??!?
