You know, I like these kind of things.

But ICBC and the BC government yesterday announcing they're replacing a bunch of intersection safety cameras, which are apparently needing to be replaced, those red light cameras.

Did you know, Jeff, that 35 of the red light cameras...

in BC are actually photo radar cameras? I don't know.

But since 2019, 35 red light cameras have been taking pictures of speeders and mailing them tickets in the mail.

And now they're going to get replaced.

And so my question to ICBC was, are you guys just going to like slowly kind of take those 35 and say, well, all 140 intersections now are speed camera photo radars.

They say no, they're not doing that.

So we'll go through, uh, their information about back to school.
