<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: CamaroNOS</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Correct....&quot;it kind of sucks for Canada&quot;.

We will lose 1,000 good paying jobs at the GM plant in Oshawa along with ALL the other spin off jobs that are a result of these positions.

We also lost 1,000 good paying jobs at the same plant in 2008 when the pick up truck production was closed. The question remains, what are the long term plans for this plant?

Oshawa Ontario has been hit hard.....real hard.

Paul. I'm a member of the HBA (Home Builders Association) here in my town, which is part of the CANADIAN HBA, We had a rep from the Canadian body in back in November of 2014 I believe. The harsh reality is that &quot;somehow&quot; there is a mindset from the CAW that ALL car manufacturing in Ontario at least, within the next 10 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oshawa is losing the F body, Toyota Cami plant has lost the Corolla for 2016. This is just a start. Labor and other costs are what's killing these her in Canada. Sucks, but the writings on the wall. These &quot;elected&quot; officials that are screwing us at every turn will end up killing manufacturing in this country in my lifetime, as I'm 49 now.
