![]() ![]() ![]() Not to be rude, but I’m not calling Tony back. Tony just called and left a message that he’s tracked down a Prius. Subsequently, we in North America all benefit from these greener vehicles – Toyota wants to help bring this down? federal standards, and manufacturers have had to step up if they want to sell cars in that populous state. Toyota is fighting the California Air Resources Board? The board’s vehicle emissions limits have often been more stringent than U.S. But stop the presses: GM, Fiat, Toyota Among Automakers Siding With Trump In Legal Fight With California (Online, Oct. I have been talking with my salesperson Tony about a Toyota Prius Prime plug-in hybrid. I have owned three cars in my life, all have been from Toyota. Tom and Jayn Meinhardt Redington Beach, Fla. ![]() We are going to make copies of the article and put them in the hands of every neighbour who answers our simple “Good morning” with a callous, “Yep, great day to go fishing.” We are constantly dumbfounded that otherwise kind people think nothing of going out on pleasure boats to torture another species (no, folks, catch-and-release is in no way humane). What astounds me is that Canadians and the Canadian government are not alarmed by this latest development in a long series of companies leaving Canada. The economic effect is felt in direct and indirect job losses, reputational damage in the investment community and psychological morale damage to the general populace. Just for perspective, losing Encana is similar to Quebec losing Bombardier, Air Canada and Desjardin in one fell swoop or Ontario losing Bayer, BASF, 3M, Ford, Intact and Labatt all at once. I can assure you that once all the Canadian energy companies move to the United States or elsewhere, they won’t be coming back. Maybe that is what other Canadians, including the government, want, but it is shortsighted and detrimental to our whole country in the long term. We will no longer be managers of our resources, but subservient to American and international interests. ![]() Even at the eleventh hour it is still not too late to change the code to something useful.As a Canadian, I am shocked and utterly disgusted that the politicians and others in Canada cannot see that the gutting of the energy industry is bad for Canada’s long-term health. An Eircode needs a computer or app to decipher and amazingly is not compatible with street signs because they don’t have a letterbox.ĭoes Ireland want a confusing random postcode or a structured smart postcode designed to facilitate the needs of our emergency services, citizens, businesses and visitors. They are simple, easily understood and can be put on street signs and along way-marked trails. Grid-based postcodes are perfect for reporting all emergencies (both dwelling and non-dwelling, such as road traffic accidents ), perfect for goods deliveries and perfect for the public and tourists. The only thing a grid-based design cannot do over Eircodes’ poorly structured “random” design is offer a unique postcode to every apartment in a block. Sir, – The revelation by Eircode chief Liam Duggan ("Eircode chief defends use of seven-digit code system", July 6th) that grid-based postcodes are in his words "utterly useless" may come as a shock to the rest of the developed world. ![]()
