While your car is on and your are forced in Canadia to have DRLs, I don't see why it's a big deal that your license plate and tail lights stay on, because in effect Canada's "off" if a car is even equipped with an "off" position, is like leaving the car on the parking light mode, and in that setting, the parking lights, tail lights, and license plate lights on most cars are on.

Actually that's not true. Most cars I would say 80 or more percent even with DRLs in Canada have a "off" mode in which ONLY the DRLs stay on. If you look at our headlight switch there are 4 settings:

1. OFF
2. AUTOMATIC
3. MID-DAY
4. NIGHT

Then midday setting is supposed to turn on the rear lights but not night time lights in most cars. The fact that our car's DRLs is the same as night time makes that extra position completely useless. Mode 3/4 would be EXACTLY the same and the only diff between mode 1/3/4 is the interior illumination then. If this is really the case that's a really dumb design. Dunno y I just noticed the taillights always stayed on until now lol.
