5 terrific cars we wish were sold in Canada — via drivingdotca

The move theoretically makes sense from a financial standpoint, but it’s hard not to look across town to your local Mercedes dealership, and note the C43 wagon sitting in the showroom. True, the C43 wagon is a Canada-only offering this side of the Atlantic but you’d think BMW would sell enough M3 wagons over here to make it worth its while.Article content

Throw in a manual and what we’ve got here is a Subaru STI hatchback that somebody accidentally shrunk in the washing machine. By all accounts, the GR Yaris offers a distilled version of what made rally legends like the STI and Mitsubishi EVO so good. The car is a smash success across the pond. Enter the Ford Fiesta ST and the Hyundai i20N. Both these cars make right around 200 hp, the Ford from a turbocharged 1.5L three-cylinder; the Hyundai with 0.1L more displacement and one more cylinder. Both are light, front-wheel-drive, and offer four-door hatchback practicality. The Fiesta comes as a three-door if you prefer.

The e, by contrast, looks like it should host its own preschool television show. It’s fun and funky, and has an airy, well-thought-out cabin. The range is rated at just 220 kilometres, and Canadian winters will likely shrink that, but anyone considering something like a Nissan Leaf might want a car with similar capability but a lot more personality.Speaking of EVs, here’s something worthy from Nissan’s partner, Renault.

Then, on top of decent affordability, the Zoe is reportedly good to drive. It’s not aggressive or sporty, but comfortable and quiet, just as a proper French car should be.Lastly, we must leave a little extra space for one of the most confusing choices Volkswagen ever made.

Afghan women ministers warned Canada of Taliban atrocities in June: senatorAfghan women ministers made pleas to Canadian politicians for help -- and shared warnings about atrocities and the erosion of women's rights -- two months before the Taliban took control of Kabul. Let’s not forget the Canadians who lost their lives in combat in Afghanistan by the hands of the Taliban. Our PM never honours those who have fallen in Afghanistan! He’s only good at doing things for himself like surfing in Tofino! Hard to believe Cdns voted for this jerk!
