Not so.
Actually, the one downside of the Auto Pact has been that at least prior to its inception Canada had the technology to and did build vehicles for its own domestic use from the ground up. Chrysler's (named for its founder - Canadian "Walter") tool room in Windsor Ontario was then the largest such operation in the British Commonwealth.
Otherwise, the Auto Pact has overall been highly beneficial for both nations and accordingly served as the prototype for NAFTA as it was originally envisioned by President Reagan & Prime Minister Mulroney.

Autopact is a scam played on the consumer by corrupt corporate shills and the US government. I should have a right to buy GOOD cars without being penalized by this protectionist measure. Enough charity to auto workers already.
