‘Just devastating’: GM ending Ingersoll electric van production, future of 1,000 workers at CAMI (Ontario) plant up in the air

I complained at the time that Bidens I.R.A was giving Canadian politicians an excuse to just burn billions of dollars in handouts to foreign auto companies, weakening our nation while funding EVs that may not succeed.

Incredible. Every day more bad news in Ontario.

No one can blame me, I'm about to be homeless due to the Creepy Ones abuses against me.

I warned Canada, but the criminal outfits in this nation hate me and Americas constitution FAR more than they care about Canada. The worst security industrial complex in the West.

The beleaguered Canadian automotive industry got another piece of bad news Tuesday as GM announced it’s halting production of its BrightDrop electric delivery van, leaving the future of its idled CAMI assembly plant — where the BrightDrop was built — up in the air.

“The decision to end production of the BrightDrop electric delivery van is driven by market demand and in no way reflects the commitment and skill of our workforce at CAMI,” said Kristian Aquilina, president and managing director of GM Canada. “This continues to be an uncertain time for our workforce at CAMI, and we are committed to working closely with our employees, Unifor and the Canadian and Ontario governments as we evaluate next steps for the future of CAMI.”

The news comes just a week after Stellantis announced it was shifting production of the latest generation of its Jeep Compass to Illinois from Brampton, and two weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump and his commerce secretary Howard Lutnick said they were coming for Canada’s auto industry.
The BrightDrop was the sole vehicle being built in Ingersoll, Ont., which previously produced the Equinox SUV. Roughly 1,000 people work at the CAMI plant.
The plant has been idle since May, and was scheduled to resume production of the BrightDrop in November.

The entire automotive industry is about to be destroyed. BYD and a few other electric and hybrid manufacturers are producing very decent cars for a third of their American and European competitors. Tesla has responded with the Model 2 which should come in about $15K. My advice to all countries is to adopt a My Country First policy and strop letting globalism destroy their economies so a few billionaires can get richer.
