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?

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.

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