First the Insincere Apology, now...?

I need R.J. and/or whomever else might be northernly to help me with a sort of rumour.

Joan just came over to my desk and said she'd heard it was no longer permitted, in Canada, to smile when your driver's license picture was taken.

What's the story?

(And no memorial statements from me; martinhesselius already said what's appropriate very nicely.)
