MV Restrictions in BC and Saskatchewan

[David Dunlop]

Just curious.

Is there any correlation to this type of provincial legislation and the type of motor vehicle insurance available in the the provinces? My thought is perhaps public insurance venues controlled by provincial governments are more aggressive with this tactic than provinces where private insurance dominates...for now.

In BC it is the department of motor vehicles that put out the bulletin. I believe it was at that level in Quebec as well. In Saskatchewan, it may be that Sask Govt Insurance is intertwined with their provincial Dept of Motor Vehicles. I know that is the case in Manitoba.

But this is a cancer that has been popping up in the US for a few years now. It usually only takes a club or a few concerned individuals in that jurisdiction to make a difference by pointing out the historical values to the vehicles along with the relative lack of accidents and incidents compared to regular vehicles.

In response to Bruce, I recently watched an article that basically said that petrol powered vehs. will still be around in 20 years, by which time this CO2 being the devil, folly, may have "cooled" a bit?
Go to You tube and watch "Why Gas Engines Are Far From Dead - Biggest EV Problems"
Our govmints are yet to see the light (Btw, I can't even talk to my sons about this, so I am expecting to get dumped on from some quarter)
Mean while, the anti everything crowd will still be there harassing us.

This planet evolved over billions of years to create the world we have today. The lush forests and the oceans were the controller of CO2. If there was a volcanic eruption the trees and plants would become greener while absorbing the CO2. Civilization is quickly destroying the forests and rain forests creating cities and profitable farmland. This has disrupted the planet’s ability to absorb CO2. All the so called controls on CO2 emissions are pointless unless the destruction of forests is stopped and forests could be restored. The greenhouse gas debate has become a huge tax revenue for government and creates hardship for low and middle income households while doing very little or nothing to combat greenhouse gases.
Sorry for the rant, if the moderator feels my post is too political I will understand if you delete it.
