The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Ford's Oakville, Ontario plant had been shut down since production of the Edge ended, over a year ago. Ford says they will retool it for F-series Heavy Duty trucks. The Strabismus plant in Brampton has been shut down since production of the Charger ended. GM closed one of it's Canadian plants a few years ago. What is left is Strabismus Windsor Assembly, one GM plant building pickups, Ford Essex Engine, Honda Alliston, and one Toyota plant, that I can think of right now. There is chatter that the remaining "big three" plats will be closed and production moved to the US, because of Lord Trump's tariffs.

Bottom line: there isn't much of a Canadian auto industry to protect anymore. I fully expect Ottawa to legalized EU compliant vehicles, to maintain consumer choice. They may as well drop the tariffs on Chinese cars as well.
