  • I keep seeing this talking point. Is it true?

    Consider that Australia has a similar population, similar geographic issues and they have domestic auto production.

    South Korea is only slightly larger than us in terms of population and has 3 domestic companies building cars. We could certainly do like Korea and export vehicles.

    The only thing stopping us from having a Canadian domestic auto industry is the pervasive and false belief that we can’t because we need to sell to the US.

    We don’t. We can sell to anyone willing to buy.

    Edit: To add. My first new car was built by an independent plant that manufactured for multiple car companies.
