So are you really fed up listening to a bunch of grown ups making all sorts of promises so that they can represent you in the House of Commons.   Once there,  we suspect and know that many of these promises will be forgotten. 

How many of our members and supporters have talked to their local candidates?  Do their candidates really understand what needs to be changed in order for Canadian consumers to obtain fair prices.    Most feedback we have received indicates that most of the candidates don’t understand the issues. 

Our dollar is at around $1.05 U.S…. do you know how much you are getting hosed?  Are you aware that Transport Canada is really holding back on changes that would level the playing field?   

I suspect most of you are worried about getting by from one pay to the next.  But it is important to understand who is really hosing you!  Get involved. Start with making an informed decision on your choice for May 2nd.

So as a reflection of our thinking these days we thought we would bring back a small recording Serge and I performed back in November 2007. 

This outlines the frustration of a hard working Canadian calling Transport Canada and the RIV looking for guidance to purchase an automobile in the U.S. in order so save thousands of dollars.     Enjoy!   Make sure you vote!

So a Federal election approaches, and how many of us know where each Party, and  their local candidate sits on the key issues related to fair automobile pricing for hard working Canadians! 

Last time around I wrote emails to all the leaders of each political party and each candidate in my riding.  I described the issues and asked where they stood and what would they do for the Members and supporters of CWB.    The leaders did not reply!

Only my local Liberal candidate Scarpaleggia understood the issue, but indicated that Dion and their car critic in Manitoba did not want to get involved. 

This time around I decided to phone Larry Smith and try to  understand his position on our issues of Fair Pricing.  Larry didn’t say much. He was still having trouble picking up on Bill C-501!   So he needs to be educated on the issue, and I did not have the time.  I am told most conservative candidates are not allowed to think for themselves anyways!

So what do you folks think?  We would like to know if you are questioning your candidates?  If so what kind of response are you getting.
