No problem, boot them out of the country and nationalize their factories. About time Canada took charge of car production and reduced its reliance on the USA and crappy multi-national car makers.

This implies most people will roll over and accept corporate fascism and foreign control to maintain their standard of living. Which is not necessarily false. But is that what you believe?

I know, I know it would not be simple or necessarily beneficial in the short-term or maybe even the long-term. However, I’m tired of corporations being given all the rights of people, but never being treated like people in the legal system.
A person skips a mandatory court appearance, or fails to comply with a court order? Contempt charges, and jail until they comply. We need to do the equivalent to corporations.
Corporate equivalent? I dunno – freeze their assets immediately and embargo all sales activity until they comply.

Consider the legalities addressed.

Well that hardly helps Canada.
Right, whereas kowtowing to American car companies is turning out to be great for Canada.
Totally. Your sarcasm was better than mine.
But, in all fairness, we made deals before America speed-ran the fall of its own empire. We are still coming to terms with the idea that it’s not going back to the way it was, like the stages of grief.
Uh… at every court hearing say that we are facing “technical difficulties” and are indefinitely postponing your court date.
Nationalize their factories?
What product would we build in these nationalized factory?
Where would the parts come from?
Just do it. We’ll figure out all that shit later. Are you a Canadian or a Can’tnadian? /s
Trains. Let’s build trains and reduce our reliance on cars.
Wo were are just nationalizing the building? You can’t use an automotive factory to build trains.
Stop being so defeatist lol
Uh what?
You need a train factory to build trains. You need an automotive supply chain to build cars.
Stop being so simple-minded. You need to have knowledge of things if you’re going to state opinions about them.
First step is you use your fucking brain and build a supply chain.
Apparently for you the first step is to empty your mind.
Sure thing bud.
When we have important meetings at work, we set everything up ahead of time. We test the connection. We make sure EVERYTHING is ready in advance.
Then if things fall apart so badly that it can’t be fixed on the spot, SOMEONE WITH A FRICKIN’ CELL PHONE CAN CALL!
There is no excuse for this - none. It was deliberate and dismissive.
And this is why bribing foreign companies to set up shop here was a bad idea from the outset: they have no respect for us whatsoever.
Reading the article, that sounds a lot like: “The dog ate my homework.”
How about we make them physically attend?
Fuck stellantis.
Mr. Speaker should be able to get this Stellantis exec on speakerphone.
