1) Canada is well-known for good taste!

2) It's Fox News, so this was probably made-up.

They are sending a message for sure, but this really won't affect anyone.
As this only affects whether you pass inspection or not vs getting a ticket, owners just need to raise the car up to get the new tags, then back down to the ground it goes.
As most stanced cars utilize coilovers or bags to achieve the look, this isn't even really an inconvenience. Cars with springs only are the ones who will be SOL.

This is as silly as when rumors were floating around that the CA legislature may potentially BAN then selling of "black" colored cars to reduce carbon emissions (since they generally use more air conditioning) back in 2012.

Silly? Not really. Seems likely they are tired of traffic jams caused by cars not being able to negotiate a less than pancake flat road. Not to mention tired of being sued by drivers that had the guts ripped from the underside of their cars by manhole covers, etc...
Like Doanster says, the bagged ones won't be affected as they can raise lower at will...seems to be the smart way to go if you just can't stand the "normal" look.
