I lived in Wpg for 3 years and yes Manitoba is the Province, sorry but you get used to just calling it Wpg since their is not much else out there. It's good to see you know how to read an atlas!
I do not know if things changed in BC but 2 years ago my brother got his taken but the officer let him go on the fine and just charged him for speeding. Maybe he got screwed but he didn't question it - took the ticket and kept driving.
