Environmentalists are delighted by the fact that Quebec's economy minister said the province's automobile fleet should be cut in half. Car dealers, on the other hand, are worried.
Unfortunately, the prime minister won't endorse his minister.
As a car enthusiast, yes, please! I enjoy pleasure cruises on sunny weekends in my summer car, but let's treat it like the luxury it is: expensive, heavily taxed, and not required to get from A-B. These policies and investments would make getting around more pleasant for everyone, and make the road that much more enjoyable to use on recreational occasions. I can assure you that what I love about driving is not from being stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, and emitting tons of emissions using fuel whose monetary cost doesn't include externalized costs.
