My daughter Caroline Bergeron currently doing her Masters in Communications at Montreal University wrote the CarsWithoutBorders story entitled going from “Words to Action”. This 34-page report earned her a well deserved A+. If you can understand French, you will love this recapitulation of last year’s historic events. There are numerous testimonies (in English) from members and she put it all together in today’s context of the internet and communications into action. Enjoy the reading.

We want to thank Zack Spencer for the opportunity to be on his show that was broadcast across Canada this afternoon on the Corus Radio Network.
For those of you that missed it you can get it all right here. See below.
The show focused on our team’s accomplishments over the last 6 months, we discussed the new bumper laws and the impact on the Canadian Automobile Consumer, some of the key issues making a simple import process still a little unwieldy. The switchboard was swamped!

Thank-you for the outstanding feedback many of you provided on the week-end. We were so overwhelmed, that we made certain that we could find the Video -
Also find an email we have sent of to the producers and other folks working the show. We have offered to help them get the real message to the Canadian Automobile Consumer. 2008-03-17kenzie.pdf
Note: to really understand more of the issue , please take a look at the next post dated 2008-03-15.
In spite of excessive Higher prices, Motoring TV tells Canadians to spend their $$$ in Canada and support their local dealers. They fail to recognize that this is not a dealer issue. It is the car manufacturers in the U.S., Japan and Europe that are “gouging” $6-7 Billion every year from Hard working Canadians! Yes, we pay $6-7 billion a year more for our cars than our American Cousins. Now how does that make you feel about pissing away your hard earned money to support your local boys!
Average Hard working Canadians should have the freedom to make that choice. The choice between buying in the U.S. or buying locally. Right now, given the positions taken by the Car Manufacturers, our government and the media, the Canadian consumer is being “handcuffed” and misinformed. The pricing issue is not complex. It is in the best interests of the Car Manufacturers to make it seem so.
Read the exchange of emails with Bob & Motoring TV. They are not on the same wave length as CWB and most hard working Canadians …. and they did not even consider our challenge to report both sides of the story!
