In Ontario the ambulance is the only emergency vehicle that is not granted legal exception to go through a red light even with lights and sirens on during a critical run. That's not to say I've ever seen a medic get ticketed for doing so, nor do I think any sane cop ever would, but that's the law as it stands right now.
Okay...or how about a second...
Quebec is currently the only geo-political area in North America (and in most of the world really) where it is illegal to use an in-car GPS navigation device. This is because of the existence of an over-reaching law banning driver-visible televisions which was written as 'any electronic screen'. It's amazing they allow in-car radios in this province.

That's right up there with Montreal's island-wide ban of right turns at red lights.
Quebec is so far from being a progressive province, it's nauseating. But what's even worse, is Quebecer's sense of pride in their failing system.
In another 20 years, you won't need to worry about having GPS in your car in Quebec: at the rate things are declining now, there won't be any roads left to drive on...! Just a long, global warming-induced, summer season that will allow for contruction workers to take a one-month vacation while still managing to build inferior, poor infrastructure.
