What part of 100%employee funded pension didn't you understand?
The Corp used to contribute slightly more than half.. but didn't do so
for years.
I could have bought a Ford F150 basic truck or a Chev/GMC equivalent
for about 7 grand less than my RAV4 cost.
That is a regular cab and 8 foot box with 2WD, 6 cyl engine, auto
transmission + air conditioning.

Do you really need air conditioning in Halifax? I'd just roll the
windows down on those few warm days you get.

I Did just that for my first 30 years of driving.
Got to the point where I'd get sleepy on long highway trips with the
windows closed and the sun streaming in..
now I feel that I do need air conditioning those half to a full dozen
days a year.


It seems to me that Toyota would have A/C as a standard item on its SUVs
sold in North America and perhaps elsewhere, too.
