Canadian Cash for Clunkers

[Jerry J. Fortin]

Well folks we can call this corporate welfare if you like, but the reality is that there is a distinct shift in politics. We now have begun to use public funds to support private enterprise in a very blatant way. The public is having their noses rubbed in the stink of corruption and the public has begun to realize that it doesn't like it.

The dippers think this concept is all well and good because it appears to keep a few of their brethren working. The Conservatives think it is well and good because their corporate sponsors say it is good. The Liberals think it is well and good because they see where the band is playing and they want to be seen out in front leading the show. In my view they are all out to lunch. There is no well and good when the citizens of this nation are supporting private efforts and do not profit from the endeavor.

Yes....but it had the tendancy to cut out after 4 hours of highway driving.

Another thing in it's favour was there was not one spec of ruct on the body or under carriage...the muffler mount is another story.

Sunbirds and Sunfires were a curious lot...never had large production runs. These were Pontiac's version of the "J" platform, but looked better than Firehawks or Cavaliers. It was also a less expensive way to get a convertible when few were available at such a price point. These were targeted at the younger, childless female demographic.
