GM to lay off 750 workers at Oshawa, Ontario plant, citing U.S. tariffs: union president

[shockedcanadian]

These jobs and/or shifts will be moving to the U.S due to the tariffs. I suspect that the auto industry is one Trump is trying to bring back to the U.S, probably his key focus.

Considering how much some agencies have been violating citizens rights here, we shouldn't be surprised that America is treating us more like China than Japan.

I did my duty for decades warning and trying to bring Canadians from the abyss. We have allowed this to occur for decades. Sheer violation of citizens rights that has permeated into U.S companies and corporations here. Lead by the Toronto Police and general police operations here.

My reward? Decades of persecution into my career, education pursuits and even relationships. We are now the LEAST innovative nation in the G20.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste. They have wasted mine and many others even if I do say so myself.

eneral Motors is laying off about 750 workers at its Oshawa Assembly plant as it makes changes to shifts due to U.S. tariffs, the president of the union representing workers said on Friday.

The plant, which employs roughly 3,000 people, is moving from a three-shift to a two-shift operation starting this fall, according to a news release from Unifor, which represents workers there.

Beautiful.

Your fellow Canadians voted for this, lest you forget.

Ummm...I love my American brothers and sisters. I reached out to the U.S military in my 20s willing to join your fight against the Taliban at the time.

That said, we don't vote in U.S elections. What we did to ourselves is a century in the making. Once the U.S debt reached a high level, once their intelligence agencies learned what was going on here, it was a certainty that America would choose a leader to correct course and any abuses.

This isn't on the last Canadian election. He is meeting Trump Tuesday. I hope Trump raises civil liberties and human rights as a pretext to good trade deals. It would be a GREAT service to many of us.

Lest we forget, our fellow Americans voted for Obama and Biden. Canada is in a tough position with the Ontario-Quebec cabal running its federal government. This has made Canada's relations to the US more parasitic, like that of Mexico, than naturally symbiotic. Until now, Canada's strategic location has caused the US to overlook its otherwise uncooperative policies and behavior.

With its last election , the US has decided that it cannot continue as the rest of the world's benefactor. Its adversaries have been waging economic warfare against it for decades, with even its allies sharing in the spoils. And militarily, it can no longer rely on two oceans to buttress its defense. This places Canada squarely in the middle of its strategic needs to maintain open shipping lanes and provide for an effective missile defense capability.

Under its present configuration, Canada has proven that it cannot be relied upon to be a strategic partner with the US. Because of this, President Trump is applying pressure on it to create a more effective arrangement. Joking about Canada becoming a "51st State" is merely a metaphor for mutually beneficial economic and military cooperation. (The US doesn't want to add any more left-wing lunatics to it voter rolls.) What Canadians decide to do will be up to them.

You're one of the Canadians I've come across on the net who lives in reality. Most are either in denial or just simply lie about how bad it's gotten for Canada, and you're right. It's self-imposed. Canada got too dependent on us, feeling entitled to that dependency.

I'm happy these lost jobs are going to return to the U.S. Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises to us. Good for us.
