Don't know about AAA, but CAA in Manitoba promotes more concrete and
lower fuel taxes.  Which is great if life begins and ends with the
car but lousy if the environment and sustainable cities get in the
way.  I don't want an auto advocate, i just want someone to tow me
(or more likely boost ) when necessary.  Wish i could find an
alternative in Canada.
