The Front Seat – Governments Slow to Back the Electric Car

POSTED: 25th November 2011

temp

Are you are like me and wonder why in a time where every politician can’t wait to tell us about how they support “green” and “environmental responsible” initiatives, but are so slow to embrace the electric powered car? Currently only Ontario has an active rebate program in place to compensate those who take the step [...]

Most kids dread the thought of the summer coming to an end. As the days grow shorter it is a clear sign that back-to-school is right around the corner. For me, I always used to look forward to summer’s end, as it meant the opening of the Pacific National Exhibition (or PNE for short) and [...]

Cruise-In Back from the Dead

POSTED: 21st February 2011

By Dean Washington It is not often in the event business that, after a show is moved from a city or meets its demise, it has a chance in hell of being resurrected. I know, Montreal got back its Formula One race, but more fall into the distant memory column rather than the one that [...]
