things in Canada are not much better since China is supposed to get new GM plants build them there and ship them to Canada nd the U.S.
GM to close Oshawa plant, lay off up to 2,000

OSHAWA, Ont. — General Motors Canada told employees Friday it will close an Oshawa, Ont. assembly plant next year, ceasing production of the old-generation Chevrolet Impala and Equinox at its Consolidated Line by phasing out operations.


“As you can imagine it’s devastating,” said president of CAW local 222 Chris Buckley. “We have thousands of people that have been informed today that they are not going to have a job in one year’s time at a time when we have lost over 700,000 good paying jobs in this country.”

On the same day, General Motors Co. – the Canadian company’s parent – announced its highest U.S. sales in almost three years for the month of May at an increase of 11% year-over-year.

I mean record sales here but now GM will be the North American automaker that has made in China because we cannot compete.

plus the fact that Canada helped bail them out in 2008 and they sell us out to China seems like Ford is the only Real American car company left.

Time for Canada and the U.S. to put a tariff on China if it costs jobs here

Making statements like that with nothing to back it up might make people assume that you're not of very high intelligence.
So, tell us, O Brilliant One and Darling of Wall Streetâ„¢, how much will a single employee cost under Obamacare beginning January 1, 2014?

Amused...

That's funny, because I constantly predict quarterly GDP and I'm never off by more than 0.1% to 0.2% I don't use "seasonally adjusted" data, and I don't use their flawed models either. That's why I can calculate it and get that close. You pay those "you-Harvards" idiots lots of money and they can't even come close. How sad is that?

Laughing at the superior intellect....
