VW finally fined in Canada for emissions scandal

[RiverBrick]

Canadian judge approves C$196.5 mln Volkswagen fine for diesel emissions


Per offending vehicle, the fine appears to be at least 3X smaller than in the USA.

It also took about three times as long to settle than in the States.

And it’s in Canadian Dollars so...

And it’s in Canadian Dollars so...

It is a Canadian court case, so yes it would be in Canadian dollars.
It is the largest fine ever imposed on a firm doing a similar deception to the public in Canada, so a step in the right direction .

I think that there should be VW Canada execs charged. The $196 million fine is a cost of doing business. The people who knowingly imported these cars into Canada should take responsibility for that.

Will be good if money are used for charging infrastructure, remove the 45k cap per EV

This fine appears low but is not because it is in addition to the $2Billion+ remedial settlement VW had already paid to Canadian owners of affected cars earlier last year.

It’s still nowhere near enough to cover the damage they’ve done in the name of profits.
