I agree that Flipper shouldn't be banned in Canada, but I think the headline won't help them make their case. For many reasons, it's easier for people to support banning a device they don't personally care about than it is to call for millions of cars on the road to be made illegal, or for instituting new regulations on an industry with entrenched lobbyists. If the option you are presenting is to ban the Flipper (easy, painless) or turn the auto industry on its head (hard, painful) guess what they're going to do? The option you want to present is between going through a lot of work to ban a device that is ultimately harmless, and not doing any extra work and letting it go.
