Most American car manufacturers have little production in Canada and they continue the race towards no Canadian production.

The thing is with car manufacturing they can’t ship parts up from the US and can’t sell cars to the US assembled in Canada as the tariffs will be too steep. Canada does not buy enough Korean cars so this means they will have to ship the cars they build here via the Pacific, Atlantic to other buyers and this is costly.

That’s quite the demand by Canada. I don’t know if the Canadian market alone has the “pull” to warrant Hyundai to break ground for a new factory. Especially with trade tension with America as it is, Hyundai can’t expect to be able to export any surplus to the American market. I somehow doubt Germany’s VW group will accept this proposal, and Korea’s sub offer is already more generous than Germany’s.

Why not? It’s worth a shot.
Doesn’t hurt to ask the Germans too. VW’s North American presence is minimal (they’re an also-ran in sales compared to Europe where they’re #1) and Volkswagen’s already building a battery plant here, so why not ask the Merz if he can ask Dr Blume if they’ll consider a car plant to go with it. But you know what else would fit right in in Southern Ontario? A [VW Currywurst](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_currywurst) factory. Southern Ontario’s already got the tomatoes for the ketchup, and I’m sure there are pork farmers who can supply the requisite oinkers. Canada needs Currywurst.

Jesus why cannot have them build the defense equipment and some other stuff, to hell with this obsession with making cars? FFS. Get some new ideas for once.

>In other words, the Canadian government is demanding both Korea and Germany, which are the final candidates for the order, to build cars in the country as a condition of winning the order.
It’s a queation of whether the Germans can establish a Volkswagon plant or the S.Koreans a Hyundai plant.

Its sad if we go with the korean instead of germany. Germany were willing to have some parts made in canada. I know the company I work at would of had garateed work with them. Im sure a new plant is good for jobs too, but those rarely actually get built. It feels like its always an empty promise.
