Apparently not all Canadians are nice... Who knew? This pair stole over 25 vehicles, but the cops finally nabbed them. Check out all the details here.

Two men were arrested recently in Montreal, Canada in connection with the theft of over 25 vehicles. 21 of their targets were were Lexuses, with the remainder being Toyotas. They may be guilty of many crimes, but not of having bad taste.
Well, without knowing just which Lexus and/or Toyota models were stolen (which the article apparently doesn't say), the question of good or bad taste might be open to debate.
Either way, though, IMO, to have people out on bail that made off with more than two dozen vehicles is absurd. Only eight of those vehicles have been recovered...and they could use any one of the rest to skip the country.

Read an article recently where one official who works for customs admitted than far less than 1% of cargo that leaves port of Montreal are checked.....
I'm not surprised its in Montreal. Justice here is lazy. Mafia have been ruling the construction business for decades with complicity of local officials. There is more incentive for the local police to give speeding and parking tickets than fight crimes because of the bonuses.
Anecdote, 5 years ago, local police went on *strike* and reduced the number of tickets as a bargaining tool against the city of Montreal to defend their status etc.
The city of Montreal wanted their money back from the main police union because they did not "reach" their ticket quota....

"Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre says setting quotas ensure police are productive saying “they have a job to do, to serve and protect and that’s part of their job”"
"In November the city filed a grievance against the police union demanding $12.5 million dollars because it says police slowed down on issuing tickets by about a third, as a pressure tactic against the governments new law on pension reform."
So yes, don't be surprised its easy to commit crimes here.

Are the basic laws in Quebec and Montreal any different from the rest of the Canadian provinces?
Quebec, with its large French population, has long been known for having a different culture from the rest of Canada. In fact, there have been a couple of referendums (I don't remember exactly how many) calling for Quebec's secession...which, I believe, have only narrowly lost.

I am not sure the grass is greener anywhere else in Canada.

Would anyone pay for a stolen GM or Chrysler car? Toyota and therefor Lexus have very valuable products. Toyota is a very valuable brand up there with Microsoft, Apple and Google. This is why the thieves were stealing them, to export to overseas locations.
