This is coming from Japanese media so may be some truth to this. Time will tell I suppose but this has been posted in multiple news outlets here.

The province will eventually pony up billions as they always do to provide some corporate welfare relief.

That;s the outcome when you don't have any innovation or entrepreneurs in your economy since liberty is found elsewhere. These devils have interfered in my life for decades, especially my employment.

Tariffs will just drive companies to the consumer nation. Will we start boycotting all things Japanese now too?


A report from a Japanese news outlet that Honda is considering moving some of its production out of Canada to the U.S. is not accurate, Ontario Premier Doug Ford and a spokesperson for federal Minister of Industry Anita Anand said.

Nekkei newspaper reported Tuesday that Honda is working on plans to switch some car production from Mexico and Canada to the U.S., after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 25 per cent auto tariff last month.

Honda "has communicated that no such production decisions affecting Canadian operations have been made, and are not being considered at this time," a spokesperson for Anand said in an email to Radio-Canada.


Anand will meet with the CEO of Honda Canada later on Tuesday, spokesperson Matthew O'Connell said.

Ford said the report is "not accurate at all," speaking at Queen's Park on Tuesday.

He said he spoke to the president of Honda Canada on Tuesday, and the company is planning to make a statement.

"They want to increase production down in the U.S.," Ford said. "They're at 100 per cent capacity right now."
 
A significant portion of Honda vehicles sold in the US are assembled in American factories. Honda has multiple manufacturing plants in states like Ohio, Indiana, and Alabama.

Well, they may be receiving an additional couple of factories, or, just shifts I don't know.

Ontario has to convince the world it is a free market jurisdiction that defends the civil liberties of its citizens and doesn't just profit off of Americas decline (such as when we allow transnational trade or Chinse malls to sell countless knock off American movies and fake high end products)
