I know the report is for the US but it also applies to Canada because we have an almost identical car market, regulations, and truck culture.

Time to start taxing vehicles by the height of their driver's seat or the bottom edge of the wind shield, modern trucks are land yachts for middle aged children. A "pickup" that seats 6 but has a 4'x5' bed is just a worse minivan, it fits less people, holds less cargo, uses more fuel and has headlight that sit at eyelevel for every other driver on the road.
