If I remember correctly, that Canadian plant was rated very high in quality control. Seems like a dumb move.

It has nothing to do with quality, numbers, or profit.

GM is bleeding money again, still.

2,000 VOTERS in detroit will have jobs this November. (and their spouses, cousins, and friends will vote too)

Screw canada, it’s all about HIM getting re-elected.

It seems GM wants to keep jobs here more than in Canada and rightfully so but this is a pretty good indication Volt sales are not what they anticipated. This could hurt all GM sales in Canada because the union and the government are pretty ticked.

GM and its union and government owners can choke on whatever kinds of cars they want to make. Falling of deaf ears. I will NEVER even consider something made by GM.

The Canada plants were historically predicated on the Canadian dollar being cheap, well below par with the US dollar. Now that the US has depreciated (thanks Ben, Timmy, and Baraq) to below Canada, the Canadians are hosed.
