On this rainy summer afternoon, we were browsing through this site, fixing links reading over some of the past media coverage, when we came upon Neil MacDonald’s now famous article written December 7th, 2007. 

For those of you that are newbies (might have missed it)  and for all us old timers to reflect on pass accomplishments and think of were we need to go next!  Just click here!

What is next on the list that the Government needs to change before they get my vote:

1)  write laws that ensure major manufactures honor warranties throughout North America.  If I buy it in the U.S., why should my GE fridge not be covered by warranty,  what about my Dell Computer, and of course my car!  Provincial or Federal laws are needed to protect consumers and punish those companies operating in Canada and treating Canadians unfairly.

2) stop the manufacturer’s  control of the admissibility list.

3) Why are many U.S. dealers not selling to Canadians?  Is this legal? Some guy from North Korea,  Cuba, Iran  has a better chance of buying a car from a U.S. dealer. ( no offense intended)

4) Why are we paying for recall letters?   Provincial or Federal consumer laws are needed.

5) The public consultation process, and the entire process to implement and change govenment regulations need much,much, more transparency!   With the Internet now becoming the most transparent tool in the universe, the day of the over-paid lobbyist quietly and “Under-cover” sitting down with a bunch of well fed polititians  should soon be coming to a close.  (what is it now, two terms in elected office and you can retire with a full pension and become a lobbyist, after your unused vacation days run out!) …I digress ,, so back to the point of my post… 

What do you think we should address next?  You can comment here or vote on our forum poll!
