Everyone (except GM) saw this coming with the high gas prices of the last several years so it is no surprise.
Anyways, the GM workers will be picked up by another companies plant like Ford. That always happens so they are never out of a job for too long.
I see so many people not tuned in to the current realities of Ontario & Quebec manufacturing and the even worse upcoming economic situation, and wonder how could so many people ignore the numerous signs? Our dollar, the US consumer, steel PER CAR up $ 500-, transportation costs for heavy products way up, costs of doing business here vs. elsewhere. Just a small sample, the list is much longer than that. This is likely to be an economic train wreck that hasn't happened yet, but is in slow motion, and we are onboard with the seat belt on and can't loosen it.
Sorry carburator, you are one of those people, however you have lots of company. "That always happens so they are never out of a job...." is some other time, its NOT today.
