ICYMI: Are pickups really a plague on Canadian streets? — via drivingdotca
All that being said, I do agree with the intent, if not the rhetoric, of his diatribe. The fact remains, whether Mr. Gee is just an elitist nincompoop or not, that many people — too many people, in fact — are driving pickups that don’t really need them. And he’s also correct that said pickups pollute more than smaller cars. As family transport goes, it’s pretty hard to find anything more inefficient than a crew cab.As true as that all may be, however, it’s none of Mr. Gee’s damned business.
Indeed, Gee’s little harangue is nothing more than another of the polemics already far too common these days: I don’t like something so nobody should. Notably absent, for instance, in his tirade was any mention of sport utility vehicles, which occupy just as much space, consume almost as much gas, and are almost as poor at family transport.
Maybe Toronto columnists should try getting around this province during a prairie blizzard in a Smart Car.
