Melanie Joly is threatening to sue Stellantis. That should really help Canada attract more investment. 😬

Mike “joly” good joke! Quote:”This overhaul will diversify the automaker’s capacity to meet growing consumer demand for low-emission vehicles”

“Growing consumer demand “? Pure fiction.

Hey Mike. How are you? What do you think is attracting investment to Canada? Do you invest? I do. And, At this time Canada is a great investment. 50% in three months. Why would any car company be a great investment in this climate? Maybe stick to singing in a cage, rather than comment on something you don’t do - invest.

Could you please let me know where they plan to source the EVs from? Oh, wait, Trudeau gifted Vietnam money, and they make EVs, but many roll-on/roll-off car carriers soon will not be able to be insured should they be carrying EVs. So who will carry them even to a port? The EV market is crashing in the US; without the tax gift from the government, they are not viable. The only reason there was such a high adoption in Norway was because the government was paying for the taxes; that program has closed now, and no surprise, no more EVs are being bought.

So it is pretty apparent Canada is ok with screwing over other countries if they can dump products in their market using a weak dollar, but when the other country fights back, "Oh, poor us, what did we do?" is the cry from the Canadian politicians. These Canadian politicians are weak and feckless individuals.

Ford has no understanding of conservative America. Idiotic ad strategy.

I would venture to say that most canadians do not understand the mood of americans. You can love trump or hate him. He was duly elected and a majority of the country fully approve of what he is doing. You might not like to listen to him ramble on...but my guess is that most people in the middle east are pretty happy today...and most americans are relieved to have a closed border and ice getting rid of the illegals...don't expect CNN or MSNBC to tell you this...but go to america and talk to americans....or if you simply won't go down there..fine...stay home and make canada great again...but don't hold it against trump for wanting america to be great...ask yourself why your own leaders don't want that for canada.

Exactly. When my premier, Danielle Smith, wants to build a pipeline or two to make the whole country rich, then it’s no more working together for Canada. It’s oh we can’t do that it’s bad for the environment! All lies.

Good points, Julia. Trump loves his country. I wish I could say the same about Carney. And lets not even talk about that piece of garbage Trudeau.

Sadly, my observation is that canadians have not loved their country for a long time. They complain bitterly about all of it but re-elect the same people over and over. apologize for being of a certain skin color or ethnicity, as if they could do anything about that! They only dragged out the "recently-hated" flag in response to trump. They are new to "buying canadian"...(.ie don't buy american) .really, there's not much to buy that is made in canada..they buy chinese...even though the chinese have way bigger tariffs on canada than the usa does...

He’s really lost. He’s lost the plot completely. Also, the Conservative vote.

There needs to be a Leadership review.

Agree 100%. Stellantis are broke. Sales are in the dumper. Ford is against tariffs as he says he wants to protect Canadas EV manufacturers. Really ? Yet he will

Not agree to dropping a 100% tariff on Chinese EV to protect canola producing farmers.

Huh?

What is Ford protecting ?

There is no EV auto manufacturing in Canada currently. Stellantis ? No sales. GM ? No. CAMI produces the “ bright drop” EV van. Production paused. No

Sales

It’s such a bunch of crap.

Canada is doomed. Ontario is lost. Toronto a parody

Mr Cobb I can hear Brian Lilley now :” Ford will survive a leadership review”

There are some things I want to believe in Ford. I did vote for him. I agree with you. I’m frustrated beyond belief. We are in an echo chamber here.

Problem is: no opposition party in Ontario.

No leadership conservative candidate to match Ford.

Bigger issue? The incredible federal government corruption . Carneys tyranny.

The corruption is real and it appears to have ensnared Ford and the Provincial Conservatives. The New Blue is deserving but sadly not yet sufficiently on the radar screen.

I was a Ford supporter previously, he changed. He used to laugh as hard as any of us at Trudumb before the China Virus then sadly Chrystia and crew turned his head too easily - Tits Up eh!

No more corporate welfare. Period, end of story. We have been playing this losing game far too long. To save a few jobs in ONtario we bail out the autoworkers, but when farmers and oil field workers in Western Canada lose their jobs due to decisions in Ottawa, it's oo bad. The Hub is covering this properly.

Ford, just like PP, another lying 'Con' POS. $$$, Crooked and corrupt to the core, all of them. Liberal, Tory, same old story. Decades of this mess. No leadership anywhere. But why? Who runs the country, Ottawa? $$$ KEBEK Mass immigration, massive govt growth, debt, crime....100s of billions stolen out of Alberta and Sask., BC, Ont. since the 1960s, 70s. Equalization (money laundering into kebec) became entrenched in his commie charter = kebek communist Pierre Trudeaus constitution of 1982. Since then, 25 years of Liberal govts have made things worse. 18 years of 'Conservative' govts, the exact same thing. Kebeks Charter = 10s of billions stolen out of Ottawa yearly and funneled into quebec and other metis (they are not french) – towns and companies, all across the country every year, all disguised as grants, subsides, equalization, transfers, bilingualism (code for french) – only outside quebec while kebec bans our language, history = bills 22, 178, 101, 96. Multiculturalism (only outside kebec), massive government growth, control, censorship, surveillance, taxes and debt. Canada now just liberals masquerading as conservatives, the rest, communists masquerading as liberals. ’French power’ in all provinces. They are revising, eliminating our BNA history all over the country as they rename, remove all things English, Scottish. Election fraud? YES, guaranteed. Why? Simple, they lie about everything. Welcome to Marxist - commie Canada where your vote is meaningless. Why? Bigoted = Socialist = marixst = commie = kebec runs the nation. This IS the problem, and No party, NO ‘leader’ will touch it. ‘Cons’ Poliver, Ford ?...nothing, not a word. “First quebec, and Ottawa and then the entire country…” ‘french power..." PET. $ Seriously, how do we get these lying, crooked, corrupt greedy metis bigots out of Ottawa, Queens Park? We have no-one to vote for. Liberal, Tory, same old story. Repeal the kebek - commie charter. Stop all immigration now. Deport now. HELP

Ford has not held Conservative values for a very long time. If he runs again, I will not be voting Conservative in Ontario. He would rather scream with the “never Trump” crowd than look to learning how to negotiate, and see the value in standing with Canadians and Canadian businesses. How many more companies will say “No!”, to investment in Canada? We will not have to worry about a takeover by Trump, we will hand over the bankrupt mess on a silver platter.

Danielle Smith? She’s not building a pipeline. She’s conning Canadians into building a pipeline.Alberta has built squat you freeloading communist grifters. What a joke you are. Take federal money to support disabled people and then steal it from them. You make me sick. That’s my tax money you are looting. I’ve lived in AB longer than you have been alive. I never once stepped over the disadvantaged to take for myself but your Premier does. And you support that shit. You are from AB? I doubt it!! If you are, you will understand this - you are lower than a pregnant snake… you know the rest of that. “My Premier” - Quit guilting Canada to pay for your stupidity. My Premier … what a load of horse shit.

Your comments reverberate in the echo chamber of a Brian Lilly post. If you really think that Trump is making America great again you need to check yourself into some sort of rehab. The US is a dumpster fire. EVERYONE knows that. A majority of Americans do not approve of what he is doing. And you shouldn’t either!! Unless of course you are like many of his supporters, billionaires, religious nut bars, fat kids who are in the Republican youth groups and the simple minded racists. I’ll tell you what’s on my mind, why am I paying the taxes I am paying so a bunch of uneducated fools such as yourselves who live on Brian’s every word can reach stupid conclusions that most middle school students can see through? The answers here are simple. Move to the US of A and live your best life. Take an IQ test. Here’s one. Do. Read the Toronto Sun for news and opinion? If yes, you are intellectually compromised. If you want to make Canada great again, stop allowing American owned newspapers free access to the the imbecile class that reads it.

Cheers!

Ford’s frustration over Brampton’s Stellantis plant overlooks a core structural issue: Canada’s auto sector depends on U.S. market access, not provincial incentives. According to the Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association, 85% of Ontario-built vehicles are exported south. No amount of provincial funding changes that continental dependency.

Given the way tax dollars are thrown at greenies with reckless abandon, I find it hard to believe they only got conditional tax breaks.
