I find that interresting that somebody from Toronto would notice this.
I live in Quebec.  There is a (two lane each direction) on which I
often drive.  From time to time, I find a slow driver in the left lane.
Sometimes people pass him/her on the right, but usually not.  An interesting
thing that I notice is that 80% of the time, the car has Ont. plates.
This number is fairly accurate, because it interested me, and I started
keeping notes on it.

Don't flame me about Quebec drivers being the worst.  I'm not saying that
they're any better, I'm just saying that that pass (and let pass) on the
left.
