Are you kidding? In Canada?

O.k. seriously we don't have enough money to fund a decent Coast Guard
and the customs guys don't care about VHF licenses. They want to know
if you have a ton of alcohol or ciggies but that's about it.

I have a 'Restricted Radio Operators License'issued in Nova Scotia. I
may have paid a nomimal fee to get it (either $ 10.00 or $ 20.00) but
it's lifetime with no annual fee.
Check closer to see who is actually getting this $ 150.00. Is it the US
govt??
