Transport Canada tries to duck lawsuit and get Volvo off the hook with a new list!!??
It appears that TC has put up another new list. Again they appear to be back dating the list. It wasn’t there Thursday 28th, when we checked and we are sure we didn’t see a new one yesterday.
So is this intended to come out on the same day as the Lawsuit? We have noted some of the changes below, but most significantly check out what they took out on Volvo!
Volvo Canada has not provided information to TC on the admissibility of vehicles that are imported after January 1, 2008. Effective January 1st, 2008, if you wish to import a U.S. compliant Volvo vehicle into Canada, you will have to contact Volvo Cars of Canada at 1-800-663-8255 to determine if the vehicle is admissible for importation, and to request the letter of admissibility required at the time of importation. section.
- They took this out!
- Other minor changes were as follows:
- Mitshubishi, 2008 Porshe 911 and what appears to be minor cosmetic changes. (see below)
- diff2008-02-21and2008-02-27.pdf
It is not to late to change Mr. Cannon, you can just “jump those Bad Boys” at the RIV and TC now. Or beware of Mr. Green’s warning!!!!
A warning to Mr. Cannon - :

There has been a lot of Fowl playing going on since October 2007 and he may end up as a Lame Duck.
I personally am leaning more toward a Cooked Goose

What is going on? We need more competition, ensuring consumers have get the best selection and at the best price possible. We should be tearing down walls, not building new barriers.
In a US style government, wouldn’t congress/senate request an inquiry into the matter?

I see that there is still comment on Volvo on transport Canada website. Is the restriction removed now and a proper list posted?

Thanks to these companies for starting this lawsuit. It is obvious at this point that the Gov’t of Canada, auto manufacturers, Transport Canada and RIV were not about to fix this situation.My only wish is that more of the auto manufacturers would have been named in the lawsuits. Toyota, Honda and others are just as bad as those companies that are named in the lawsuit.
