First Step down a Dark Road
The Ontario Govt. has announced a plan that will give a $10,000 rebate on the purchase of plug-in hybrids. Seems in line with other such plans over the last ten years... except:
The plan was announced at a Toronto Chevy dealer in front of a Chevy Volt, and the plan really only targets the Chevy Volt. Thus it is in reality a $10,000 rebate from the Canadian Govt. on the Volt.
And the Canadian Govt. owns 10% of New GM.
Toyota in particular is crying foul, as they should. No one really expected the US/Canadian governments would keep the playing ground even when they are both the refs and the owners of a team, but the abuse of power has started quickly it seems.
