Before 1996 Canadian automobiles had no emissions limits. The resulting smog brought tougher rules but the old cars remain, emitting an average of 19 times more pollution than newer cars. The Canadian government has an offer for owners of these vehicles: trade your car for something easier on the planet and those who live here. Ottawa will spend $92 million on the National Vehicle Scrappage Program, offering rebates on new cars, membership in a car-sharing program, bicycles, public transit passes or cash. The aim is to remove 50,000 vehicles a year from the roads and recycle them safely.
