Yes, CarsWithoutBorders is asking each one of our over 4,000 supporters to take 30 minutes and help us help all Canadians.

BackGround.

As we approach the upcoming Federal election, we have been attempting to tie down the leaders of all the political parties.  We would like them to take a stand on our important issues.  “Fair Pricing Of Automobiles for Canadians”!   We would like them to take a stand and commit to making the changes to remove the non-tariff trade barriers that prevent Canadians from freely purchasing an automobile in the United States. 

( Eliminate the self-compliant rule that allows the manufacterer to dictate importing rules to Transport Canada, hold the manufacturers to honoring the warranties of imported vehicles, and stop sitting quietly by and allowing  the Americans to discriminate against Canadians. )

Current Situation.

We have not received any feedback on the emails we sent out …. letter to the leaders 2009-09-03  Yesterday we picked up the phone and chased after the local Candidates for feedback on the emails we sent them on September 9th.   We were been told by the Liberal, NDP, and Green Party Candidates in the riding of Lac St. Louis that they will raise the issue to their leaders.  Peter Graham of the Green Party even went so far as to indicate that he will be meeting with the leader this week-end and hopefully the Green Party would be able to indicate their support within ten days. The Liberal Candidate has always supported our cause, but it appears that Mr. Dion and Mr. Volpe don’t have time for us.  He mentioned to me that if each one of our members was to raise the issue to the candidates all across Canada, that quite possible the Leaders would be forced to take a clear position. We have heard nothing yet from the Conservative Candidate.
