"Ottawa is offering $300 in the form of bus passes, bicycles or cash to the owners of pre-1996 vehicles who junk their rides. Some $92 million in tax dollars have been set aside for this. For the record, pre-'96 vehicles "produce 19 times more air pollutants than newer cars and trucks," according to the feds and other sources.
Of course, almost no one with an older car will take advantage of Ottawa's generosity. Why would anyone accept $300 or a bicycle to junk an old car worth ten times that in terms of a replacement cost? So Ottawa's $92 million is never going to get fully tapped. "
