Sometimes, when you're trying to be extra 'smart' ... you're being extra stupid.

Live and learn - hopefully you don't run into the same issue!

If you move to northern Ontario or west of Ottawa there is no etest. Just some parts of Ontario have that stupid test. Acton Ontario I remember working there some 50 years ago, it must have changed quite a bit.
