Yes but the alternative is to become hostage to a hostile nation.

You cave now and they will do it again. We also have to stop pretending these are Canadian firms leaving. We’ve allowed many of our manufacturing companies to become subsidiaries of foreign companies.

    Exactly. When I hear the east talk about the "Canadian Auto Industry" I think, what auto industry? Oh the american one that hires a lot of Canadians? The deal has been good for both sides so I understand why we became dependent, but now that the mask is off and the US is openly saying they intend to fuck us we need to pivot.

    While I would love a Canadian auto company, that is very hard to do and the better interim option would be to better partnership with European and Asian car brands. No reason we can't build Renault cars here.
