I am now belatedly ashamed of having been such a coward as not to
have publicly stated out of fear of losing votes when I ran forthe Green Party that I am irrevocably passionately an enemy of all forms
of the internalcombustion engine as a major causeof pollution toxixity illness and death.
Not just car free day but snowblower car lawnmower and other ludicrous unnecessary inventions as the rototiller whipper snipper
chain saw outboard motor and that mos abominable invention the seadoo skidoo threewheelers etc etc etc.
Given the way our cities are set up and the pollution on the main roads it isalmost impossible to live an ordinary life without the automobile.
The Green policy was increased gas taxes. This of course guarantees
the fate of Joe Clark to allpolitical parties whatever their other policies.
And yet I agree with it.
Quadruple the price of gas and that might stop peaople from idling
unnecessarily especially right next to a hospital door or a convenience store door parked in such a way that their idiotic inconsiderate exhaust not only prevenets exit and entry without choking but guarantees to make the nurses or the clerks victims.
No parking within sight of a door especially not with engines running.
