Jason Kenney tries to channel the power of the pickup truck<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Excerpted from National Observer :By\u00a0Max Fawcett<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Opinion<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0July 27th 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jason Kenney<\/a> may have appointed a new minister of culture earlier this month, but culture wars are clearly still the purview of the premier. His latest skirmish involves a broadside against the \u201cToronto\u201d Globe and Mail<\/em> for a column<\/a> it published criticizing Canada\u2019s love affair with the pickup truck. \u201cI\u2019m happy to say that ~40% of the vehicles on Alberta roads are pickups,\u201d he tweeted<\/a>, in what has to be one of the strangest examples of Albertan virtue-signaling to date. \u201cMaybe Toronto columnists should try getting around this province during a prairie blizzard in a Smart Car.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t just the Globe and Mail <\/em>making the case against pickup trucks<\/a>, mind you. About a week before it hit publish on the column, a piece by Toronto writer Davide Mastracci made the case<\/a> for banning pickup trucks outright \u2014 one that got the attention of the culture warriors over at Fox News. Both pieces make the same general argument, which is that pickup trucks \u2014 which remain the top selling class of vehicles in Canada \u2014 are bad for the environment, dangerous to other human beings, and inappropriate to life in an urban environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
