There are 32 million Canadians living in the 152 census metropolitan areas, the smallest of which has a population of 11,000. The rural population can keep their cars, but the majority of people living in this country need to be given an alternative that isn't just a fancy expensive battery powered car. Fewer cars on the road means less required parking which leaves more room for productive urban developments which further decreases the need for cars in the first place.
