I’m trying to figure out why I can’t by a Quebec-made electric Zenn car, as highlighted by Rick Mercer. Apparently they’ve passed the federal test(s) and it’s now up to the provinces, although you CAN buy them in the States.

Where is Buzz? (oops, likely a non-union shop) Where is Duceppe? Layton? Dion? Yes, I know I just said it’s up to the provinces, but when has something like a fact got in the way of a good question (or for that matter, answer) in QP?

“– and I’m trying to figure out why you listed Buzz, Duceppe, Layton, and Dion… but missed that other party leader who also might have some influence :-)”

I listed Duceppe, Layton & Dion because they all seem to be convinced that Harper & his government are so non-green as to be brown and they all pretend to be defenders of Quebec (when it suits L & D, anyway) so why aren’t they defending this Quebec green business and demanding the cars be deemed safe across the country, full stop?

I listed Buzz because he cares so much for autoworkers - the union kind, anyway - and has moaned loud and long about how the current government is killing the auto industry. This appears to be yet another attempt to kill that damn industry, no? Of course, that the Toyota (or whatever their current name is) and Honda plants are doing fine is somehow ignored by Buzz, or is that just because they are non-union? Those autoworkers have paycheques, no?

And I know that you know that Harper is evil and brown, not good and green, therefore it would be foolish to expect him or his gov’t to come to the defense of a green Canadian car, so there is no point in listing him.
