ZENN cars stalled in Canada

TORONTO, ONTARIO - A Toronto manufacturer alleges the government is using regulations to block sales of its electric cars in Canada.

That's tantamount to a conspiracy by government officials, he told the Canwest News Service.

Federal officials have denied any wrongdoing, Canwest reported.
