Subject: I agree that Canada driving on the perverse side of the road is more of an issue than having a quick pint down the pub

i agree that Canada should switch to driving on the left hand side of the road, but i also think it would be very expensive to change all our road systems which have been designed for driving on the right...i dont know, i'd like to see it happen, but i think there would be a lot of opposition to it because of the cost.

If you drove on the correct side of the road, It would become a lot less enticing for Canadians to drive those awful American 4 wheel drive things, than to drive proper cars such as the Japanese Evos (alias Playstation cars) or the British Lotus Elise or Ariel Atom through the Rocky mountains.

From my experience, there were no Mounties present to enforce those ridiculous speed limits anyway…

It seems the Holden plant in Melbourne produces something like 14 models (much higher than the 4 or 5 produced by other car plants in Australia) and they have plans to transfer production of some models to the US - including the Monaro, which will apparently be sold there as if it were a Pontiac. That should open up the possibility for sales to Canada too.
