Uh oh, looks like the CAW is "outraged" that Canada Post is not buying a vehicle made by them. They wanted them to buy Caravans instead as they are built in Windsor.

While buying Canadian is a good thought, if the product is inferior, I woudn't do it either. The Transit has better fuel efficiency and much lower Co2 emissions, and a more compact design better suited for deliveries.

Plus if it pisses off a union, I'm all for it. Maybe instead of whining and trying to push mom vans, the union should push for a Chrysler vehicle that can match it in terms of performance and efficiency.
