The Model T, produced by @Ford, was the first mass produced vehicle, but not the first auto.

Innovation led to bigger, enclosed cars.

Engines got bigger and cars were sportier come the 60's.

An oil shortage paved the way for smaller, more fuel-efficient cars.

We've embraced technologies and improved safety standards. Vehicles have seatbelts, intermittent wipers, and air bags. Materials are much better, too.

Experts are consulted on changes, ensuring manufacturers are producing safe, emissions-friendly vehicles. Production is guided for market demands.

With all the evidence and logic pointing to phasing out #FossilFuels, why are we building the #TMX?

Why are we subsidizing #BigOil?

Why not invest in #CleanEnergy?

Why is government suddenly scared to advance?

Our future is NOT 1974. It's time to embrace change and move forward.

Think you have the answer?

Are you ready to move forward?

Are we ready to be world leaders?

Are we ready to do what's right?
