Authorities in Ontario are proposing measures to address the carjacking crisis, including suspending licenses of repeat auto thieves for life. Insurance data reveals a significant increase in auto theft across Canada, with auto theft insurance claims reaching $1.5 billion in 2023, a 20% rise from 2022. Proposed changes to Ontario's Highway Traffic Act aim to combat the crisis by revoking licenses of repeat offenders. Kia and Hyundai models were the most stolen cars in 2023, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau and Axios. Canada is also banning key-programming machines and enhancing penalties to deter auto thefts.
