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.
“My son’s dead,” Mike Boissonneault said. “It’s a 10-year-old ticket and I didn’t commit the offence.”
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.
“He was such a good kid. Engaging and full of life,” he said. “It still breaks my heart every day.”
That heartbreak turned to anger after he received a notice in the mail from the Canadian government. It stated that a vehicle, registered to him, had been clocked speeding by photo radar in Alberta in 2014, and he had failed to pay the fine and was subsequently convicted.
“I owed $148 for a traffic ticket that occurred sometime in July 2014 in Alberta,” he said incredulously. “I thought, ‘Oh this must be a scam.'”
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.
As Tomasia DaSilva reports, 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.
