if you already own a car Subaru announced recently that it would fill its Canadian inventory needs from Japan rather than the U.S.; Hyundai will pull Canadian-market Tucsons from Mexico; Mazda’s model line for Canada comes almost entirely from Japan; and now we can likely look for other makers to start feeding the Canadian market with similar workarounds They use an algorithm to determine how much they’ll pay to buy a car from a private seller as well as to figure out what they’ll sell it for; they do total reconditioning and necessary upgrading in-house Looming tariff implications are unavoidable but Park notes they’re also making life difficult for an industry predicated on long-term planning “Practical implementation of these tariffs makes for impossible tracking and calculations,” he says His concern is echoed in every boardroom around the globe senior manager of Insights and Residual Value Strategy has noted a recent trend in the used-car market that consumers should take note of “We have not yet seen the impact on price via tariffs for new cars the used retail space has quickly moved pricing up as an anticipation of consumers flocking towards used vehicles again,” he says and prices moving so quickly on the aggregate raises a flag.” Perhaps Clutch’s ‘closed-loop’ sourcing and selling is buffering out some of what CBB is noticing Do people think Alfa Romeos are made in the U.S.?” Now is the time to learn where the vehicle you’re contemplating is made and not to fall for unscrupulous retailers trying to capitalize on consumers who are being bombarded by headlines Dan Park mused about the global redistribution that is taking place in the car industry “It would be interesting to see if Porsche sends fewer vehicles to the U.S. could [Porsche] prices here go down?” He says it with a smile but that’s the kind of point-of-origin consideration consumers actually need to keep in mind as manufacturers do redistribute their stock He also sees reason for optimism after this week’s step-down on the parts tariffs “This is a positive development that helps offset the impact of the 25% tariffs It’s an encouraging sign that the broader effort to shield the industry from severe disruption remains underway,” says Park “I continue to believe we’ll see further concessions especially in response to strong pushback from OEMs and the broader sector which gives reason for optimism that a reasonable middle ground will emerge in the months ahead.” Daniel Ross is staring at used retail numbers that defy explanation the consensus is clear: it’s the uncertainty that is going to prevail and it’s the uncertainty that is doing the damage but to the reckless administration to the south of us the incessant uncertainty will cost vehicle buyers on both sides of the border It is also destroying livelihoods and thwarting long-term planning The goal of protecting The Big Three will just result in creating The Medium Three and that’s probably being generous in both size and number no matter how big a “no trespassing” sign you put on your door helping decipher a complicated industry for consumers who just need good information ask her anything - except to do a car review Driving.ca’s Lorraine Explains columnist and host of The Driving Podcast After beginning her career in writing with The Motherlode column in the Hamilton Spectator in 2003 Lorraine added automotive journalism to her file in 2005 After stints with The Toronto Star and The Globe & Mail She began hosting The Driving Podcast in 2021 and helmed The Lemon Aid Car Show for seven years After years of partaking in adventures like driving Smart cars in the Yukon winter hypermiling across Canada and chasing down Route 66 (twice) Lorraine now writes as a consumer advocate She is a prominent voice on radio stations across the country 2021 AJAC Jaguar Land Rover Journalist of the Year 2019 AJAC Jaguar Land RoverJournalist of the Year 2015 AJAC CAA Road Safety Journalism Award 2014 AJAC Jaguar Land Rover Journalist of the Year 2013 AJAC Jaguar Land Rover Journalist of the Year Join the Conversation Postmedia is committed to maintaining a lively but civil forum for discussion.

helpful during our emotional and challenging time They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things They were prepared and respected any religious decisions The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign which took a huge burden off my mind at the time From the time I called to the completion of all the services There was a sense of caring from each staff member I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve Everything that was arranged for us was perfect Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect I liked the personal treatment given to my mother who is 97 years old I found Springfield employees pleasant and sincere was that the funeral home would help me get through the paperwork need at this time Since this was my first experience (with a funeral home) everything was above and beyond what I expected Thank you to your team for your kindness to me at a very challenging time You have now taken care of both of my parents with professionalism and care Springfield Funeral Home is always professional We appreciate that you have dedicated staff for all needs from planning the service to completing government paperwork I am not sure there was anything you could have done to make a very intense emotional time less stressful Although we hadn’t expected Ken to want a service when he said we needed to have one for us not him Your sincerity and compassion meant everything to us your compassion and professionalism is truly amazing super professional and caring as each guest arrived Keep up the good work that you do as it is such an important service you provide It is still the most difficult time in a person’s life We appreciated the peace of mind that everything was being looked after You provide a wonderful service for people going through a traumatic time The kindness and professionalism shown by the staff at Springfield Funeral Home was exemplary our beloved Lorraine passed away on March 30 and brothers Bill and Jim were born and raised on a farm in Treherne by parents Fred and Eva (both deceased) she moved to Winnipeg where she met and then married her husband Lorraine was working for Manitoba Medical up until their first child and Lorraine was a dedicated homemaker who enjoyed coffee dates and outings with girlfriends and playing Atari games while the kids were at school She greatly enjoyed the years with their camper and later at the Wendigo cabin having drinks while playing cards or singing and playing guitar around the campfire with friends gave her so much joy She was called ‘Mom’ by all her kid’s friends Mike and Lorraine moved to Cook’s Creek where they enjoyed many years before returning to Winnipeg in 2001 Their farm was her paradise and her never-ending yard work vegetable and flower gardens kept her very busy Only grandchild Devin ‘Ryan’ was the light of her life and playing kickball and board games during his sleepovers at the farm were favorite pastimes Once back in Winnipeg and with a much-downsized workload Lorraine was able to engross herself with reading books and watching movies while in her older age she often dodged the midday hot summer sun Lorraine had COPD which she managed well for many years but the last few months were most difficult and she struggled more often with different aspects of her condition She was comforted in her last days that she was able to have recently seen several out-of-town family members and met and held her first great-grandniece We hope that Lori found greener grass and weedless dirt on the other side and that her and Lucy are working away getting dirt stuck under their nails while looking for the monarch caterpillars that she was so passionate about Cremation will take place and a private gathering will be held at the family home at a later date those who wish may donate to the Manitoba Lung Association in her memory This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
