Default Canadian drivers and toll roads

Just curious.. I read an article today that reports that Canadian drivers who pass under those overhead plate readers and don't have an EZpass sticker are not being billed. This is because the Canadian/Ontario government has not agreed to give our authorities the information on the driver/owner associated with the vehicles. So the Canadians just pass thru and never get a bill. On the other hand, Americans driving in Canada are being billed as apparently we have given them the data they need.

This is a bridge toll near Buffalo, but soon the entire NYS Thruway will convert from human toll collectors to electronic. So my question.. If you are driving a Canadian plated car in Florida, do you get to not pay our tolls as they can't find you? or does Florida have an agreement in place to send bills to Canada?
