 CarsWithoutBorders would like to extend a very safe and happy holiday weekend to all our members and supporters.

We have been working hard to ask our leaders where they stand on our consumer issues. 

One Liberal from NDG has written us back indicating that Liberal Values will look after all consumers.   And I have been personally flooded with spam from the liberal party, encouraging me to vote Liberal, but not bothering to answer our questions.

The Conservative party members in Quebec have been told not to give media interviews, not to attend local debates, and we assume not to return phone calls or emails!   They have completely lost any hopes of a majority by some rather awkward moves on Culture and Crime.  They must have been listening to the folks in “Hero” euxville.   They are directly responsible for the rise of the BLOC in recent polls.

The NDP have remained silent.

The Green have talked a good game but no commitment.

 We encourage our members to follow-up on their e-mails with phone calls to their local ridings.

But more importantly please spend some quality time with your family this week-end. 

Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday!

Robert & Serge.

The financial turn of events over the last couple of weeks has really left many hard working Canadians a lot poorer than they think. 

As of 8:45 this morning our dollar hit .8555 U.S.  over 12 cents in a week! 

IMO (Imperial Oil ) on the TSX closed out trading on 2008-10-09 at $32.36 while it was $28.82 US on the DOW.

Dear members and supporters,

 Thank-you for your personal involvement. Hundreds of emails were sent out yesterday and today.  We have spent most of the day working with many of you and helping explain and re-explain our issues and  position to the Candidates that did inquire. 

This is good! 

Please keep up the heat.

If you are called back and some folks need more info, please use our handy issues document -  issuesexplained1.pdf  2008-08-08macleans.pdf    2008-08-08mccleans.pdf

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.

Transport Canada continues to frustrate average hard working Canadians!  The management and publishing of this list is out of control. 

The folks running this department should be put in isolation and asked to read the list!

We attempted to document the differences, but we gave up… proceed with caution if you are importing any of the vehicles outlined in our differences report below.
