Yeah I was really confused by the story, surely they actually have to provide some kind of evidence. Surely the Canadian government didn't just run it based on honesty. Wouldn't they have to provide the VIN or something.

But the very least I would have assumed that they had to list the name of the person they sold the car to.

Right, you’d think they would provide vin numbers, which the government would then check against vehicle registrations with whatever DMV equivalent.

I'm open to being wrong, but this certainly doesn't pass a smell test. We'll see what happens.
