It’s not a surprise that governments are slow to adapt to changing times. Bound by bureaucracies and protocols, they tend to be playing catch up, deciding how best to react to the choices already made by citizens. While overall, I don’t mind that our governments aren’t prone to rash decision making, the glacial pace can create deep inequities— something that has been brought into sharp focus.

If Toyota did cocktail bars, their best-selling cocktail may well be called the “Tacoma Sunrise”…And you could have any beer as long as it’s a Corolla! Tacoma pick-up truck has been around since 1995 and the previous generation, launched for the 2005 model year, has consistently been the best-selling mid-size pickup truck in Canada. This is thanks to a reputation for toughness, reliability and extremely low depreciation. It’s impressive that in its 11th model year (2015), the previous generation Tacoma was still a best-seller, even outselling its larger and more modern big brother, the Tundra. However, the mid-size truck market has seen a bit of a revival in the last couple of years, with the introduction of the popular, all-new Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon and rumours of new contenders from Ford and Nissan.
