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.

Jim Prentice Conservative Industry Minister was out helping Lois Brown campaign in the NewMarket-Aurora riding. 

Check-out his 4 point plan, that has only 3 points.  He also states  –

“For example, a U.S.-manufactured bumper has to be approved for 10 kilometres per hour, but, in Canada, the number is only half that, meaning to ship to the U.S., bumpers have to be changed, slowing production, he explained.” 

Duh!!!! Jim the bumper regulations have been approved!!! 

Not only that Jim, it used to be around 8 KPH in Canada and around 4 KPH in the U.S. !

This is the minister of Industry for Canada!  God help us!  We wonder …. nuc–cleuuurrr…

 In the following article a top GM executives warns that Canada is not supporting the industry enough and risks loosing future jobs!   2008-09-19.pdf .  

Sighting the fine example of our friends down south pumping up the big 3, GM, Ford and Chrysler,  with $25 billion in low cost loans,  their Canadian equivalents,  with their hundreds of lobbyists are now banging on doors in Ottawa and threatening our politicians. 

It appears lately that any failing company or industry in the U.S. can just go out and obtain $$$ from the U.S. Government, except of course Leeman Bros!  Short term fixes in order to protect Wall Steet at the expense of the taxpayer.

We wonder how all this will affect the U.S. dollar down the road. 

We wonder if it is the right and honorable thing to do! 

It appears our Canadian and Provincial govts have been doing this for years.  

Now we know why most polititians are avoiding our questions concerning their position on “Fair Pricing for Canadian Automobile Consumers”.
