Can you imagine what would happen if the US auto companies pulled out of
Canada? Houses in Windsor would be selling for $20K.


Well John, if the US auto companies pulled out of Canada, we would still
have Toyota, Honda, Chrysler, Cami and Magna, plus the 100's of the second
and third tier companies that employ thousands of workers here in Canada
for
the Auto Industry in Mexico and Europe.



Canaduh has 100% of the 2nd and 3rd tier auto component manufacturing
companies?

That is news to me. Could you provide a link?

BTW: Magna is a tier 1 supplier to the auto manufacturers...not an auto
manufacturer as you suggested. And their components can easily be
manufactured by Lear Industries or Guardian Industries of the US.

Did I say that Canada has 100% ? Where did I say that? I said that Canada
has 100's of those plants that supply the various auto assembly plants

Magda is a manufacturer of "Complete Assemblies" for various European Auto
Manufacturers.

If Lear and Guardian can easily manufacture those parts, then why aren't
they doing it now? Could it be that the Canadian Company, Magna, does it
better with higher quality, a MUCH better price and delivers the goods on
time?

It is a war Don. Besides, you have no dog in the fight so why are you so
obsessed with our war on terror?

No problems in Canaduh to be worried about or to try and fix?

Remember that you need us far more than we need you. ;-)


Nice of you to say that after you got us hooked on Yankee dollahs.

Have you checked their value lately? It's sinking rapidly on the world
money market!

You're just jealous because those Canucks are just so much smarter than
53% of the US electorate. I'm jealous, too.

You are correct. My apologies.

Nope, they manufacture for the Big 3 also. I used to service their US
plants so I do know a thing or 2 about them.

It all has to do with cost.

It all has to do with cost. Guardian, Leer and Magna all produce quality
parts meeting or exceding the auto industry QC standards.

Is that all you have to offer? We can survive without it.


I think you'd better go find someone who knows what he's talking about. My
impression is the US wants all the natural gas, hydro etc we can spare &
then some. You may be at home freezing in the dark but others may
differ.


Once we have bleed your NG fields dry and you rivers don't run we will then
just ignore you.

Haven't you heard of the cheap labor pool in Canada? We are exploiting you!

So I don't think those people in Windsor need to worry.

Toyota is close to surpassing GM as the largest automaker in the world.
Bad GM management, of course. It seems as if Japan's sun is rising while
ours is declining.


You need to removed your clouded union glasses and see that GM is finally
starting to make good quality produts.
