Great articles this week-end in La Presse.  Writer Francis Vailles tells it like it is and saves over $3500 on a 2008 Camry.   M. Vailles proves to the Canadian Public, that the “Gap” still exists and it is relatively easy to do it yourself! 

 ”This proposed amendment would offer more choice to Canadians who wish to import vehicles,” said Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. “At the same time, it would help to maintain the safety of Canadian roads.”

Cannon is quoted in the Globe and Mail April 10th.  We are all glad to hear this, but why wait till the end of spring. Pass the law on April 22nd, please.

We wonder if our constant e-mails and petitions had anything to do with this.

Even more surprising is David Adams, “”The fewer the barriers you have in cross-border movement of vehicles, the greater the pressure will be to ensure that product offerings in Canada are competitive,” said David Adams, president of AIAMC, the trade group that represents most non-North American-based auto makers in Canada.”

This guy represents Honda, Toyota,BMW etc… wonder what he has to say about preventing US dealers from selling to Canadians!

• We are not sure if the true story gets out, it might be on the cutting floor, but the Local CBC just did a story on the APA (Automobile Protection Agency)  and the new list of 2008 recommendations.   (Protegez-vous is involved too)
• A CWB supporter was interviewed, but again the editor/producer decided not to plug our group, and missed many major point/ issues!

• Charles  is still considering purchasing in the U.S.

 CKNW 980 in B.C. hosted our friend, Zabin Somani,  from UCanImport today as she, her team of lawyers and a close dealer released a lawsuit against the Car Manufacturers.

 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.
