Canadian government wants to ban leaded fuel for racing!

[Brian46]

Effective jan/09 if it goes through the government wants to ban the use of leaded fuels for competition vehicles in motor sports in canada! which only covers 0.003% of all fuel usage in canada. 1.5% of the fuel usage in canada is leaded small personal aircraft, which is infinately larger in comparision to 0.003% yet they want to attack the small negligible number instead of the larger one, as they still exempt aircraft using lead... what a crock. To top it off they want to propose this ban because they think lead is even more harmful then previously determined and the exposure to it in limited quantities is still to much and can effect pregnant woman and infants. Yet they have no conclusive contaminant testing or research to back up their claims. and instead of warning people of the health risk of attending racing events and letting them choose. They would rather ban it and potentially kill racing in canada. Therefore causing a huge negative economic impact, direct and indirect to businesses, people, and supporting bodies.
