A Canadian Perspective on Toyota Woes...
us Canadians seem to be able to wade thru the biased influences from the media and see things as they really are. I hope this article serves to enlighten....

The war on Toyota

Good read. The comments at the bottom are also good.

I love Canada. Even their bullshit smells good. I'm just a dumb American who likes to read the whole quote :/

"My advice is, if anybody owns one of these vehicles, stop driving it," (referring to recalled Toyota's)

Now one thing I am confused is where in the Constitution it says the government should tell us what to drive.

Not there, but the right to free speech is.

Your physical location gives you more insight? You are funny if you think that people in this country don't see what's happening as well. Remember, news is entertainment. They will report what they need to to sell more papers or up their ratings...

News Reporting is significantly different.

We don't believe hype nor do we dish it out. Just a more Non-Biased perspective.

You can't see reality when you're in full deep of BS.

Well, with the recent introduction of the World Wide Web, people of all countries have been exposed to news from all over the world...

BTW, I'll share a little secret with you.....all news is biased. Like I said earlier, they all want to sell you their product and will report what they choose to.

lol...

They said Toyota shares are falling, already fallen from 92 to 74$ a share...

I bet you a Toyota share that american companies are gonna start buying shares soon.

cuz they know Toyota will rebound and then they can make some money off this artificial plunge the media and ensuing panic has created.

Governments and Fear tactics always seem to make them money.

What next? Google? Apple? lets take every successful publicly traded company, tank their reputation, buy their stock and then let them rebound and we can make tons of money!

My iPhone suddenly accelerated out of my hand and used up all of my rollover minutes in the process!
