[Skippy]

Why doesn't trudeau bail out the oshawa plants like Obama did with Ford in 2008

Didn't GM receive a bailout in 2008?

Yes they did,  they are still the 2nd most popular brand in the UK Ford is first

What are their popular brands in the UK?

The Ford fiesta and the vauxhallGM corsa both very small cars

Hyundai and Toyota seem to be the best selling cars in Israel.

Ya, sure you did you lying old wanker. You received calls in it on your non existent older Samsung 2016.

Article says slowing demand for smaller vehicles & an increase in demand for SUV's and Trucks-led to theOshawa plant closure:

1 will be shuttered in Canada & 4 in the States.



But even Trump expresed his outrage at the closings and demanded that GM do a lot more to keep jobs at home in America:

So its even more of an American problem than a Canadian one.

Trump has threatened to cut GM's electric car subsidies in response to the plant closures:

Australia bailed out GM, based on a commitment that they would continue supporting Australian manufacturing.



They closed anyway...killing the brand here as well. There was a time when GM's "Holden" brand dominated car sales in Australia.



Not any more.



Mazda, Toyota and Hyundai are killing them.

Then you prefer patriotism over quality.



Good for you.

I say drive only American cars in USA and Canada. Down with European and Japanese cars in North America. (I say this now but I drove European and Asian cars myself years ago but now I prefer American cars. My very first car was a Chevy.)



If one were to look at this problem with a positive outlook, these workers have a year to plan ahead. Some of us were not so fortunate. Before I finally found my happy place in the office of a Trump-appointed official, managing his office, my job at the time was impacted by a government closure of several years ago. I did not have a year to plan ahead. That was most unfortunate. If you have a year to plan ahead, you should find something within that year; if you pound the pavement until you find something. Whining about the problem does not solve anything. Unfortunately, this is how it goes sometimes. Shit happens.

Which American cars do you prefer?

It's a good response, but it won't save the GM vehicles that they will no longer make.
