The rest of the list is mostly SUV's. So, I think it's fair to say that not only the rich are buying gas-guzzling vehicles. It's most Canadians. It's also most Canadians that live in homes that are far bigger and less energy efficient than required.

Canada has used it's vast resources to develop our wealth and in the process burned an excessive amount of carbon. Same with most other developed nations. It's negligent to then turn around and tell developing nations that they can't do what we did, and that they need to clean up their act, but we won't participate because we're already rich from our resource development. How about we take a little responsibility for our actions?
Trucks are not $110k vehicles. We were specifically talking about SUVs, something most people consider a luxury vehicle.

I personally don't get the point of a truck either if you don't need it, but raging on truck owners without understanding context is hilariously pathetic.

And also completely ignores the problem.
