It's not that they don't care, they just have to care enough to keep it @ bay until they've come up with another master plan to replace the BILLIONS & BILLIONS they'd lose in taxes.
It's because they've become so reliant on the tax $$ there making from fuel taxes. If the government suffers so do the people, we should be mad that they've made it this way!!
Electric cars would make sense, but they there would be no way to really control how one creates/produces his own electricity... right? So how would you tax it?
With oil being the way it is, has to be refined the way it does... there is no way you could drill it out of your backyard, so no worries of anything jeopardizing that little cash pot of theres.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there frustrated just as much as anyone else... This is bringing a whole new segment, a whole new problem to them.
The people are starting to look a lot closer, starting to become aware of other technologies that have been suppressed for the last decade.
People are getting MAD, FRUSTRATED, & VERY MUCH AWARE...
Technology is advancing @ an incredible rate, we're moving forward faster than we've ever moved before in history and our political system hasn't yet figured out how to govern or even control all @ the same pace we're moving.
They need to do something today, not tomorrow, not next year, not 10 years down the road... They need to do something that doesn't involve the creation of another damned tax because that's not a solution, that's a MASK.
Ahh, I forgot. They've come up with 10 to 20 year action plans on reducing emissions. lol What a joke that is...
Guess they're doing something, right?
As they say, There is always more money in prolonging the problem than there is in fixing it!
Sheesh, not like they don't have the power to say.. No more fuel vehicles will be manufactured or exported into Canada!
As we all know with the documentary "Who killed the electric car" they
have the facilities and technology already to pump these vehicles out in full scale
production.
Nice title of the movie... "Who killed the electric car?"
Hmm, I wonder. ;)

The reason Zenn cannot sell its vehicles in Canada is that they were not designed for Canadian laws. They comply with US standards for low speed (neighborhood) vehicles and can be driven in most, but not all, states. They are not legal for use on any road in the US with a speed limit over 35 mph. It is the fault of Zenn, not the fault of Transport Canada, that the Zenn was not built to comply with Canadian law.
The problem is not that the car is electric, it is that it does not meet the safety standards for a highway vehicle.
Highway legal electric cars are being driven in Canada, and have been for decades. The Zenn is a glorified golf cart incapable of maintaining highway speeds and is not equipped with standard safety equipment. If Zenn can make its next model highway legal, it can be sold and driven anywhere in Canada.
