The latest issue of the Economist contains an article titled
“Not on our Roads” “Bureaucrats against electric cars and Progress” —
Now the entire world knows just how backwards Transport Canada really is. At the same time Harper and his oil backed Conservative Government look like a bunch of “banana republic” hoodlums.
We have captured the comments to date, take a look at what the rest of the world thinks!

Please Mr. Harper, wake up and make some real changes in the interests of the real people that voted for you!
The editorial this morning took a strip off of Transport Canada regarding it’s “flip-Flop” on the ZENN.
see article : 2008-03-24gazette.pdf
We wonder if and when the car does get approved, if the ZENN Motor Company, will “gouge” us like the rest of the sad sad Canadian Manufacturers. Maybe we should ask?
We also wonder what Charest is doing. He should be out there trying to protect the only Car Builder in the Province.
Mr. Cannon and Transport Canada just can’t seem to get it right. Now they have withdrawn their approval of the Zenn car, they fear a safety concern. The low speed car being used among regular cars is their concern! But some of the Provinces like B.C. and Manitoba are telling them to stuff it. Small Motorcycles that can not exceed high speeds are ok, but the Zenn is not. Why is Transport Canada infringing on Provincial authority, just get rid of the whole department and let the Provinces do what they are responsible for. Cannon is so screwed up on this that he is now refusing to give interviews!
Note: 60,000 of these cars have been sold in the U.S. and not one has been reported in an accident as forecasted by our hard working Transport Canada bureaucrats.
The Car is Built in Quebec. The only car builder to set up in the province and Charest and the Liberals are out to Lunch on this one as well.
Here is another excellent report by the CBC. http://www.cbc.ca/national/blog/special_feature/green_rush/zenn_car_update_1.html
