A free speech advocate and former Wildrose Party candidate in Alberta is threatening to take Manitoba Public Insurance to court after the Crown corporation scrapped a Winnipeg man's Star Trek-themed vanity licence plate for being offensive. John Carpay is one of the founders of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, based in Alberta. In a letter to Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms dated July 7, MPI refused to reinstate Troller's licence plate. Nick Troller dusts off his vanity licence plate a few days before returning it to Manitoba Public Insurance. It's the second time this year that the Justice Centre has come out against the recall of a licence plate.
