ok, that's garbage.
what, we will be given a public hanging if we speak out against our government? c'mon, we aren't communists...we've had a joint smoking, queer marrying liberal government nearly 60 of the past 70 years. (not my pick, believe me). The fact that there is a law for unfair business practices, doesn't mean there is price regulation. Most Provinces have a statute to control unfair business practices. These statutes vary from Province to Province; however, the substantive protection given to consumers is broadly similar across the country. So, a dealer can charge what they want, like gas stations, but if there is a public inquiry, there will be an investigation. The main reason nobody would sell this car for 2X MSRP is because everyone would laugh, and cars would sit. $100,000 (CAD) for a GT500 or walk down to GM and get a Z06 for $98,000 (CAD). That's just the way it is.
Freedom from universal health care....kind of an oxymoron...
And it may not say "the right to bear arms" in our constitution, but i have a collection of nearly 30 rifles and pistols, 2 that have seen action in WW's and one that is older...how about you?
Taxes are lower in the states, but so is employment rate and average income (I'll provide stats if you don't believe me). Anyone that knows anything about economics knows that a top and bottom heavy society cannot support itself, without the middle income Joe. More people in the top income bracket is what allows these dealers to charge what they want, not your constitution.
THUD...(fell off soap box)
