    For your information, <strike>Canada's New Government</strike> the Government of Canada has started accepting applications for the $2000 tax credit on Prii purchased or leased after March 20, 2007.

    Information is available here at: http://www.ecoaction.gc.ca/news-nouvelles/20071001-eng.cfm

    Application forms are guides are available at: http://www.ecoaction.gc.ca/ecotransport/ecoauto-eng.cfm

    Enjoy your $2000, new Canadian owners of Prii!

    Edit: You'll note the 2008 model list is not available yet. I called a friend of mine over at Transport Canada who's indicated that the list should be coming out in the next two or three weeks. They've had some delays (suprise surprise!)

    Got my check after about a month! Do submit your forms, they will pay. Watch the govt. of Canada site for when the 2008 is approved, then submit for that car.

    Glad to hear you got a rebate.

    I spoke to the Transport Canada reps on Monday, and they told me that while the 2008 list isn't out yet ("any day now, we want it out before Christmas"), they will accept applications for the 2008s and hold the applications until the list is released. They will be processed in a first-come-first-serve capacity.

    So that tells me that (contrary to popular belief) there will actually be a 2008 list and the cheques for 2008s will be flowing soon.

    I was filling in my ecoAUTO application this morning when I noticed that my provincial registration says "butane" under fuel type. I'm not kidding.

    Last time I checked, there aren't any vehicles that run on lighter fluid...

    Is this Alberta's way of fighting our first steps towards a break from oil dependence? :lol:
