The Liberal candidate from Winnipeg responded with the following:

Thank you for your email regarding concerns over automobile pricing for Canadians. I think you make a valid point and that these regulations should be examined more closely. I can advise you that earlier this year when Canadians were having issues with importing vehicles, my office was very pro-active in getting Minister Cannon to modify some of these rules. If re-elected, I would continue to serve the constituents of my riding by voicing their concerns in Ottawa.

A few Liberal MPs have written to state they helped, it is difficult to believe that the Conservatives have remained silent!  It was the the Conservatives, back in December, that pushed Transport Canada into adopting the regulation  changes that allowed our  Vehicles to be admitted into Canada.   The legislation change was the fastest ever adopted by the Govt of Canada - 15 days.  

Still we find it hard, without any firm commitment from any of the Party Leaders,  to place our trust in any polititian.   But we do need to vote!

We believe Harper and his “silent” band understand our issues better than the other parties!   Continuing to act in our favor over the Canadian Car boys might be too much to ask for.

 CarsWithoutBorders would like to extend a very safe and happy holiday weekend to all our members and supporters.

We have been working hard to ask our leaders where they stand on our consumer issues. 

One Liberal from NDG has written us back indicating that Liberal Values will look after all consumers.   And I have been personally flooded with spam from the liberal party, encouraging me to vote Liberal, but not bothering to answer our questions.

The Conservative party members in Quebec have been told not to give media interviews, not to attend local debates, and we assume not to return phone calls or emails!   They have completely lost any hopes of a majority by some rather awkward moves on Culture and Crime.  They must have been listening to the folks in “Hero” euxville.   They are directly responsible for the rise of the BLOC in recent polls.

The NDP have remained silent.

The Green have talked a good game but no commitment.

 We encourage our members to follow-up on their e-mails with phone calls to their local ridings.

But more importantly please spend some quality time with your family this week-end. 

Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday!

Dear members and supporters,

 Thank-you for your personal involvement. Hundreds of emails were sent out yesterday and today.  We have spent most of the day working with many of you and helping explain and re-explain our issues and  position to the Candidates that did inquire. 

This is good! 

Please keep up the heat.

Yes, CarsWithoutBorders is asking each one of our over 4,000 supporters to take 30 minutes and help us help all Canadians.

BackGround.

As we approach the upcoming Federal election, we have been attempting to tie down the leaders of all the political parties.  We would like them to take a stand on our important issues.  “Fair Pricing Of Automobiles for Canadians”!   We would like them to take a stand and commit to making the changes to remove the non-tariff trade barriers that prevent Canadians from freely purchasing an automobile in the United States.
