gov't conspiring for my dollars

Yesterday I went to the 'driver's services' thing downtown to try and get a BC driver's license. It turns out that I need my birth certificate. No big deal, I have one. But because I had a new driver's license issued when I returned to Ontario, I had to call a number in Ontario to have a statement of standing issued. I was rerouted to their website, where I eventually found the appropriate link, and was told "That's $12, Mac." Lousy government conspiracies!
