CarsWithoutBorders issued the following e-mail to all of the leaders of all of the political parties with copies to the media. We encourage all our members to email their local candidates and demand that they come clean and declare their position on our issues that are so important to the cost of living of each and every Canadian.  Harper.S  parl.gc.ca; ‘DionSparl.gc.ca’; ‘Layton.Jparl.gc.ca’; ‘leadergreenparty.ca’; ‘Duceppe.Gparl.gc.ca’ Sent: September 3, 2008 12:43 PM Subject: Your Party’s position on “Fair Automobile Pricing for Canadians” Letter to the Leaders all of the key political parties of Canada! As most of you are aware, CarsWithoutBorders was founded last November 2007, as a result of Government “bungling” over the rules regarding the importation of vehicles into Canada. Many average hard working Canadians were prevented from freely purchasing less expensive vehicles in the U.S. Working hard with Transport Canada, our group of members has been successful in helping to change the regulations and make it easier for Canadians to realize substantial savings. Many have reduced their cost of living significantly! This year to date, over 89,000 Canadians have saved over $450 M purchasing their vehicles in the U.S. But the “gouging” by the Canadian Car Manufacturers continues!Recent articles in MacLean’s Magazine and the Saint Jean Telegraph point out that although prices in Canada have come down 6-8%, Canadians are still paying billions of dollars more than their cousins in the U.S. for the same equivalent automobiles. Similarly, car parts and services are also higher in Canada. So with the country on the verge of an election, and many hundreds of our members located in the “key” turn-around ridings, that will make or break your changes of forming the next Government, we need to understand your parties’ stance on these key consumer issues. If elected, what will your Government do to even the playing field and ensure that hard working Canadians are no longer “gouged” by the Canadian Car Manufacturers? What will your Government do to ensure that Canadians have the choice to freely shop in the U.S. to achieve substantial savings? What will your Government do to help establish “Fair Automobile Pricing” for hard working Canadians? We would appreciate a timely response, or if you would like further clarification please have your people call us. Robert Lamb Serge Bergeron Founders of CarsWithoutBorders |
