Quebec’s ridiculous green car rule

Jan 12th, 2010 by Taliesyn in Economics, Freedom, Politics, Provincial

Quebec is taking it’s own crazy socialist path by imposing restrictions on car makers and dealers with so little warning that it is impossible for them to meet the deadline.  The result will be that car sales in Quebec will necessarily drop off, residents of Quebec will buy cars in Ontario, New Brunswick or the USA and import them too Quebec.

Is Charest going to prohibit the registration of cars purchased outside Quebec in the name of green?  Really?

Yet another Quebec government comes up with an idea that will drive people and business out of the province.

  • Quebec is becoming such a laughing stock and so far removed from reality that the province may find that the rest Of Canada (except for McGuinty’s never-never land)that the other provinces may simply say they will no longer send money to support this ridiculous society.

  • Stop equalization payments NOW.

    Charest knows that Quebeckers have smaller cars on average than other Canadians because we can’t afford more expensive cars. So this is no great virtuous leap. Quebeckers don’t realize how they are relatively poor because they live in their own universe. There are a lot of clunkers on the road.

    It’s like prohibiting North Koreans from have more than 20 pounds of food a day, when of course they are starving.
