Toronto needs a war on the streetcar

Filed under: Toronto — Tim @ 7:31 pm

I’ve been writing this for the last 25 years. Boy time flies – and nothing changes!

It’s amusing to hear that, as the city prepares to launch a pilot project on King St. to give cars the lowest priority compared to streetcars and pedestrians, there is no “war on the car” in Toronto.

Kenzie reviews Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid

I always liked Jim. Here’s his take on the Pacifica. 

The Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid not only might be the best all-round hybrid you can buy; it might also help resurrect the minivan segment.

Electric car blues 

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: — Tim @ 1:31 pm

Electric cars will never be clean energy, and probably will take much longer and much more government intervention to catch on. Here’s why. 

My editor tactfully suggested that every time I review an electric car, instead of taking up a third of my available space explaining why they will never fulfil more than a small fraction of our personal transportation needs, I should summarize the facts into a separate column to which I can then refer readers who want to know the truth.
