    I’d like warranties in Canada extended to 2 years mandatory on everything and 5 years on major appliances.

    Yes it would raise prices initially but manufacturers would have to stop using crap components and plastic gears and such so the price would be offset by lasting longer.

      Agreed with that. Two years is the norm in most of the G7, so why Canada is lagging is surprising.

      Then again, where doesn’t Canada lag…?

        Canada needs to follow the lead of the US and start electing young energetic women instead of sadsack old men.

          Older white male here, and I fully endorse this. We just need to find one first…
