Alberta has no emissions tests at all - that would be communist I am told....so you can't bring in from Europe fuel efficient, clean burning diesel versions of gassers already available here (Focus, Jeeps, Land Rovers, BMWs, Volvo, Audi etc etc) as they don't meet North american emission and safety laws. Well, we know they are identical from a safety standpoint, so that leaves emissions. If you have no after sale emission tests then what logic is there there in having tight emission laws at all. And this lack of testing keep loads of gas guzzling polluting heaps from the sixties and seventies rolling along belching smoke, rusting to bits, probably no brakes just being dangerous to everybody. Just ranting....
