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.
