Wow. That is crazy.

Here is ours: ($1 Cdn = $.96 US)

The Penalty and Costs of a Speeding Ticket in Ontario

1-15km/over:
0 Demerit Points
$3.00 for each KM over the speed limit (1-20 km)

16-29km/over:
3 Demerit Points
$4.50 for each km over the speed limit (from 1-20 km)

30-49km/over:
4 demerit Points
$7.50 for each km over the speed limit (from 30-49 km)

They also add an extra court fee, but these are practically "good value" compared to you guys. The only problem is if they decide you were using "excessive" speed or racing and then it gets REALLY expensive here too. Plus, your insurance costs climb radically after you get a speeding ticket or two.
