The license and healthcare card renewal was done within ten minutes. I was stunned. Also, I received no lecture from the teller about missing the deadline for the Medicare renewal. Literally, all I did was sign another paper, hand over my fee, and have my new picture taken. The end. The worst part was that we’d put two dollars into the parking metre, when we could have gotten away with twenty-five cents. Both cards will be mailed to me within two weeks.
And since we’re on the subject of provincial programs and laws, this is the best news I’ve read in ages:
People’s driving skills are already abysmal. The use of cellphones degrades them even further. I’ve been wishing for this legislation for years.
Wait until you see the latest ad for Jenny Craig – Kirstie Alley talking on her cell phone to Valerie Bertinelli while driving. Just makes my day!

Hehehe…told ‘ya!
Did you get a good pic?
When I apologized for being so tardy in renewing my card, thw woman who collected my forms smiled and said “No problem! I’ve had people come in who have never had a healthcare card—grown adults, who have lived in Canada all their lives!”
I wonder how that would even be possible, but it did make me feel better.
Ok, now that you mention it, I looked at my Sun card. Am I in trouble if it’s been expired for 7 years? Shouldn’t I have gotten a renewal notice or something?
