On Monday, Toyota said it will build a new US$3.6B plant in San Antonio, Texas, and move some production of its Tacoma pickup truck out of its Mexico plant over a four-year period.
Reading the comments I don’t think people understand what’s involved here.
The companies are moving to the states because that’s where the majority of their customers are. Which means it’s not viable for them to stay in Canada and only sell to Canadian markets.
Which means nobody’s going to be replacing these businesses. We’re talking about hundreds of thousands of jobs that will be lost with no replacement.
The state can’t nationalize them, the workers can’t take them over, they’re just not viable as businesses anymore.
And all those businesses and all the people that work for those businesses pay taxes. Which means we’re going to have less and less money to provide services the people who are poor etc
This isn’t about giving states our money, this is about us not having any money anymore. I think people need to wake up to the reality of how serious this is
