WATCH: A B.C. man is accusing the Alberta government of caring more about cash than compassion following a photo radar dispute. Tomasia DaSilva reports.A father in British Columbia is angry he’s being forced to pay for an Alberta photo radar ticket he believes his now-deceased son received a decade ago.
Boissonneault, who works most of the time out of Victoria, B.C. lost his 32-year-old son Adrian six years ago in a tragic traffic collision.Courtesy: Mike Boissonneault Boissonneault then figured out that Adrian, whom he had bought a vehicle for while he was studying briefly in Alberta in 2014, had likely received the ticket. Boissonneault doesn’t know why Adrian didn’t pay it.He then sent all of the documents, including Adrian’s death certificate, to various officials with the Alberta government but said all of his arguments went unheard.
Boissonneault added because he had no knowledge about the ticket until just three weeks ago, he didn’t show up in Leduc for his court date. He said he was told he could still fight it but he would have to do it in Alberta or the Canada Revenue Agency could take the money out of any refund.
