      I can’t shake this feeling that one day it’ll be Chinese vehicles instead and future Canadians will regard that as how it always was.

      >[Ford, GM, and Stellantis] made 56 per cent of the cars produced in Canada in 2016, falling to 23 per cent in 2025, the report says. In that same time frame, the proportion of cars made in Canada by Japanese companies Honda and Toyota rose from 44 per cent to 77 per cent. (The five companies largely make up Canada’s vehicle manufacturing industry.)

      >And when it comes to employment in assembly plants, the Trillium Network says Japanese carmakers are also outpacing the Detroit Three — jobs with the U.S.-based automakers accounted for 60 per cent of all such employment in Canada in 2015, falling to 38 per cent in 2024. Jobs with the Japanese companies accounted for just over 60 per cent of auto assembly employment as of 2024, the report found.

      This is a strong argument to reward Toyota and Honda for staying loyal to the Canada despite headwinds from the US. Whether that means tax incentives or sales allowances that favour them, we can’t keep rewarding the Detroit Three for continuing to shrink their footprint (despite spin from the „Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers‘ Association“ that is exclusively made up of US automakers).

      Japanese vehicle quality is superior to US brands. They require less maintenance, last longer, and retain their value better. In this economy, I am not surprised that many plan to use a car for 10+ years

      Japanese cars are just much better quality.

      Also, the fact that Unifor has failed to get the workers at Toyota factories to unionize, likely speaks volumes to how Toyota treats their workers. Happy workers don’t need to unionize. Now obviously there are going to be some workers that will always complain, so that’s not to say all their workers are happy, but you never hear about Toyota on the news cutting shifts, cutting workforce.qà

      I have only every owned Japanese vehicles. I have never once regretted that decision.

      Even the Canadian-truck driving losers know American cars SUCK.

      We’re happy with our Ontario built Toyota product. Great quality and pleased to contribute in some small way to Canada.

      What’s crazy to me is that GM, Ford and Stellantis are leaving the door open for competition to flood in and take their seat at the table. One day this President will be gone and they will be back. Will the market still be there for them, or not?

      The feds should have kept their stakes in GM and Chrysler (then FCA, now Stellantis) the same way the French government keeps a stake in Renault and Sellantis (via PSA) in order to secure French jobs and influence in an important industry.

      Oh well.

      If other car companies start implementing Ford’s password unlock feature, I would happily ditch Ford.
