RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Trudeau Needs to GODecisions to try a different approach can have a fantastic outcome. The Alpine community of Zermatt, Switzerland banned internal combustion engines many years ago and has a wonderful small electric vehicle and foot traffic culture. The streets are clean, smoke and noise free. It is truly a heavenly place to live or visit. People should not be so afraid of change, and on the other side others should not be forcing change that doesn't bring positive benefits overall.
