Vancouver Island drivers with U.S. licence plates plead for understanding during COVID-19
There has been a rash of reports of people being harassed for having out-of-province plates, even if they're in B.C. legitimately.
But that’s not as rough a ride as one Canadian who lives in California and is currently in B.C. visiting family. "I spent the better part of my life up here so it’s very disturbing to think that one of my neighbours –conceivably – might have done this," he said. CTV News has agreed not to publish his last name.
"I did see a guy who said, 'Just be glad your whole car wasn’t stolen,' so that did put me on edge in terms of what am I going to do moving forward?" Michael said. "Perhaps public transit," the premier suggested. "I would suggest they get their plates changed. I would suggest that they ride a bike."
