Ever since GM announced that Saturn would be winding down, there&#8217;s been a niche-brand-like hole in the Canadian car market. And rather than learning from GM&#8217;s struggles, Toyota&#8217;s jumping right in to repeat them. The Star reports that ToMoCo have announced that Scion is going to Canada.

As pro-bike protesters take to the streets of Toronto to protest the death of cycle courier Darcy Sheppard, a report from the CBC [sorry, no embed] reveals that Sheppard may have been intoxicated when he became involved in his fateful encounter. Cyclists&#039; anger towards former Ontario AG Michael Bryant could seem a bit misplaced if it turns out Sheppard was drunk and attempted to grab the wheel of Bryant&#039;s car or put Bryant into a headlock. Ontario police say they are investigating both of these possible scenarios. On the other hand, Bryant has a well-established record of media manipulation dating back to his attempt to place harsh rules on street racers. Both sides are itching to be outraged at this story, but it might be best to get a few of the facts straight first.

Fox News reports that GM has confirmed Roger Penske&#8217;s decision to pull Saturn from the Canadian market. Saturn&#8217;s 46 remaining Canadian dealers sold 18,726 vehicles last year. According to GM, &#8220;a business case could not be made&#8221; to keep Saturn operating in Canada. Sorry Canucks, but there will be no Renault/Samsung loving for you.
