You can't say they have better working conditions than we do. We're just used to an easier life.

Sorry but didn't mean to make this thread too OT.....
Waiting for one month or more usually don't have much things to do with dock workers. It's between the dealer & Honda of Canada pretty much. How many cars they can make in the certain time & how many cars can they ship over in one shipment for the WHOLE country's need(remember Honda of Canada have a TON of dealerships to look at).
They would usually ship in more models that can MAKE $ first. I used to see them ship in tons of CRV & RSX. And TONS, I meant TONS of them are shipped to AB, Sask or further east, where the market is bigger(ie.Ontario) & demand of those vehicle is higher & where they can make $.
On the other hand, if our Fit is widely available like a Kia Rio, do u think ppl will like it as much? For a long time Honda fans like me hell yes! But some other ppl? They might choose a Nissan Versa or something.
Be patience, it will be here soon.
I wonder if this " strike " is just something to justify slow movement on these cars. It is odd that there is no news, even in the west coasts local papers. BC thrives on Unions so you would figure they would report that ( union action ). I'd get the dealer to give you a demo to drive. that will motivate them to pressure the shipping yard if there is any pressure they can apply. Good luck!
