This is technically true in Ontario (TIL).
> 142 (1) The driver or operator of a vehicle upon a highway before turning (...) from one lane for traffic to another lane for traffic (...) shall first see that the movement can be made in safety, and if the operation of any other vehicle may be affected by the movement shall give a signal plainly visible to the driver or operator of the other vehicle of the intention to make the movement. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 142 (1).
That said there's zero cost to doing so regardless of whether other drivers are affected.

- sandworm101 5y agoThat's the sort of law I remember. It is considered a failure to communicate your intention rather than a violation per se in every circumstance.
- peeters 5y agoIt could be one of those "if a tree falls in the forest" scenarios. If a cop is near enough to see you not signal, he could easily argue that he himself might have been affected by the turn or lane change.
