I can drive my M151A2 in Quebec no problem. It is registered in another province.

The Quebec licencing authority is a separate arm of the public service but separate from the Minister of Transport. They are the no-fault auto insurance providers, and believe they are also the arbiters of good taste in vehicles. If something is uncommon, they don't know what to do. Therefore, the default answers are 'no;' and 'you'll need to fill out a form for that'.

The HMV community was able to prove to the Minister that he'd been misinformed by the insurers. It's never a good idea to lie to the top decision maker. A 1920s Ford Model T cannot be privileged over a 1990s HMMVW. He duly accepted the licencing policy they slid towards him at his desk and immediately exempted HMVs specifically. Or at least for the next few years.
