On behalf of all the members of CarsWithoutBorders we would like to wish Serge all the best as he retires today after 26 years of dedicated service to the St. Lawrence Seaway. 

My wife and I had the honor and pleasure of attending the retirement ceremonies yesterday that were sponsored and attended by his fellow  workers.

We were overwhelmed at the turnout, and the kind words of thanks directed to Serge.

You are quite a guy Serge!  All the best to you and your family. 

 I would also like to thank the Seaway folks that made Mary and feel so much at home.

 So the Price Gouging of Canadians Continues!  We used to say that smart Canadians go south for the winter, but these days smart Canadians  are turning south to find bargains on Winter Tires.

With the recent introduction of the “Quebec Snow tire law”, it appears the Tire Companies are all set to price gouge to their hearts content.   We conservatively estimate that over 600,000 cars will require 2.4 Million winter tires.  Please refer to Study.

This represents a price gouge just to Quebeckers in the range of 130 to 175 Million dollars!

Auto Remarketing - a top Newsmagazine of the Used Car Industry in the U.S. has just published the weekly commentary submitted by Don “Donnyo” O’Connor. 

 Funny how the U.S. media folks picked it up, but the Canadian “little boys” probably got their wrists slapped from their editors for even thinking about publishing it!

 Congrats to Don and CarsWithoutBorders.

So where do we go from here!

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!

We wish we had a little more time to discuss where we go from here… but we will issue a posting next week.
