I'm not sure what that mean.2) Lack of lane discipline (pass left, keep right)
I'm not sure what that mean.
I always stay on the left lane, driving at exactly the speed limit.
Why keep right?
Of course they should. Only an incompetent fool drives in the left lane below the speed of traffic when there's space to the right. Which is why the law says to pull right. So not only an incompetent fool, but an incompetent law-breaking fool.People staying in the left lane and going the speed limit is one of my pet peeves. You should be in the right lane.

Hell, I have seen drivers doing a few clicks over the speed limit with no traffic in the right lane and have pass them on the right following other cars in front of me. Then I seen the slow drivers in that lane and you were on them at the speed limit in no time.Of course they should. Only an incompetent fool drives in the left lane below the speed of traffic when there's space to the right. Which is why the law says to pull right.

Because it is the law.I'm not sure what that mean.

Slow vehicles to travel on right side
147. (1) Any vehicle travelling upon a roadway at less than the normal speed of traffic at that time and place shall, where practicable, be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic or as close as practicable to the right hand curb or edge of the roadway. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 147 (1).
Exception
(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to a driver of a,
(a) vehicle while overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction;
(b) vehicle while preparing for a left turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway; or
(c) road service vehicle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 147 (2).
Passing vehicle going in same direction
(8) No person in charge of a vehicle shall pass or attempt to pass another vehicle going in the same direction on a highway unless the roadway,
(a) in front of and to the left of the vehicle to be passed is safely free from approaching traffic; and
(b) to the left of the vehicle passing or attempting to pass is safely free from overtaking traffic. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 148 (8).
Because it is the law.
From the Ontario Highway Traffic Act;
While true in theory, in practice, even the OPP tolerates speeds in excess of 100km/h. Within reason, of course. So using that as a way to legitimize blocking the left lane is kind of weak IMO.
I'm not sure what that mean.

When I was in Florida (Orlando - Tampa), I was amazed at how little speeding there was. The highway flow was right on the speed limit and the most someone would go was10 mph over the limit.
They also had reasonable lane discipline. Not hogging the left lane and probably better moving from the centre lane to the right lane than Ontario.
