yeah but also in the us, and most US states that you didn't mention either is that the handicap perment is written on your plate, or is part of your plate number, not to paper style ones that Ontario still uses...

Actually Frost Ontario used to issue Disabled Parking Plates and only started issuing paper permits because they were more portable (IE: The permit goes with teh older, not the vehicle)

However, this has lead to a massive increase in fraudlent use of the things and were it my choice, I would suggest that anyone with a permanent disability be issued a plate again and leave the paper permit for temporary use or an app for a travel one for permenant plate holders as required.

This would allow them to allocate resources to checking out the "temporary permits" and leave people who need the things permemnantly in peace.
