Did you ever make the Mona lisa building on 12 mile ? some of the cars in the Tec.centre looked like this new Smart Car. Great place to work . The best thing about this place is the amount of people that can't talk Car business or have any idea how the cars were built, nice to see some one here that has an Idea.

What is it that I am supposed to be patting myself on the back about?
 
Machines break when idiots operate and sabotage them. They thought they were getting to the man (GM, Ford, Chrysler management). Too dumb to realize they were poisoning the goose.
 
I DON"T CARE that GM will eventually close all plants in Canada. I would much rather buy cars built here by American workers; Even though the Head Quarters may be Foreign. For me, that is better than buying one that was built by workers outside the USA.
 
Hopefully the B3 will be able to rid themselves of the UAW/CAW anchors and be able to emerge as a profitable company, with workers that actually care about their product. Workers that understand they are only "Entitled" to an honest days pay for an honest days work. That's all!
 
As far as Canada shipping oil to the USA goes, Why don't you see if you can get a movement started to "shut off the tap", as you have suggested. Then just maybe we would begin to tap American resources and put a bunch of Americans to work. Then we could stop importing oil and cars from a Canada that hates us. (according to you)
 
You say GM would never have existed without Canada. Well since y'all invented GM, how is that working out for ya? Good luck with your new car company.

you are hard to understand....i dont have a problem with big 3 in plants in ontario but usa has lost jobs because of subsidized canadian lumber coming into america...i live in Nh and can testify first hand our lumber mills have shut down because of unfair trade...i feel the same goes for autoworkers too in comparison to closed off asian markets
