No riots, no lock outs, no shoes going into machines...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Snowrunner', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Sixstrings', 'I') think the Canadians passed some kind of auto bailout on their own, so showing preferance for Canadian factories would make sense.

Ya gotta pay to play, after all.

At least you can all still visit the doctor once and a while up there, without going into personal bankruptcy!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Keith_McClary', 'S')o, will the US be bailing out the US branches of "troubled" Canadian companies?

[ki11ercane]

To clarify:

1. The Canadian Government has proposed an auto bailout based on a percentage of the U.S. auto bailout. The check is ready to be written as soon as the American one is written.

2. The Coalition of Colluders and Traitors proposed a 30 billion masturbatory package as part of their budget if the Coalition replaced the CPC. (ie. take an advance on the Taxpayer LOC and pass it to them today to pay back 3 fold within 4 years in our taxes)

Yes, our government at the moment is suffering a 2 month political seizure.

I can't find any Big 3 doom threads so I post this here:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'S')ergio Marchionne, president and CEO of Fiat Group:

"by the time we finish with this, in the next 24 months, as far as mass-producers are concerned, we're going to end up with one American house, one German of size; one European-Japanese, probably with a significant extension in the U.S.; one in Japan; one in China and one other potential European player."

What about the others?

Said Marchionne: "I cannot continue to work on cars on my own. I need a much larger machine to help me. I need a shared machine."

He compared the new structure of the auto industry to the one adopted by the computer business: "I don't mind being a participant and part-owner of the machine. The rest of it I can dress up. I can give it colours. I can give you that suspension, that engine, that stuff, but at the end of the day, I can't afford to spend half a billion [euros] on doing a platform."

Sorry, my mistake, LIEberals, NDP, and the worst of them all, the idiot French Bloc.

Got it. Thanks.

Why bother shutting down the plants?? The worthless workers will just sit on their ass and get paid. Dont really save much money by turning off a machine.

[eastbay]

Chrysler shut down all (100% of its production) effective in 48 hours.

This is amazing news.

[Armageddon]

I doubt they will ever open again. Ford just has announced it will be closing some too.

The link has a bug in it but I believe you. A two month shutdown should convince the UAW to come to terms. They better hope it can start back up once all the players get THOOTA.
