Dans de nombreuses villes canadiennes, il est pratiquement impossible d’avoir un taxi au plus fort de l’hiver, après un match de hockey, au petit matin à la sortie d’une discothèque ou pendant les fêtes. La plupart des grandes villes canadiennes ont en effet mis en place des règlements qui limitent le nombre de taxis. Il en résulte une pénurie artificielle de taxis et une multitude de Canadiens grelottant sur les trottoirs d’un bout à l’autre du pays.

In many Canadian cities, if you try to catch a cab in the dead of winter, after a hockey game, early in the morning after exiting a club, or at peak holiday times, good luck. Most Canadian cities of significant size have regulations that limit the number of taxis. That creates an artificial shortage and plenty of shivering Canadians on sidewalks from coast to coast.
