Canada is not the US's hat. The US is Canada's pants.
founded 5 years ago
MODERATORS
With this news -- along with the relocation of autofactories down to the US -- are we seeing the state's resignation towards Canada's already-faltering auto manufacturing sector?
Right now there are at least 5 billion a year in gov subsidies being committed to the big auto manufacturers (~10% of what is spent of Canada's "defense" budget)...
Per this source the Ontario auto sector employs 90k people, so doing some math that comes to nearly $60k/employee/year, god damn why not just pay them directly to all sit around playing world of warcraft or something instead
Canada makes cars??
Canada has no companies of its own but it does assemble American cars to be sold in America.
Yes
come on, pick a different name! you don't want people saying "drives like a Brick"
But why is the car circumcised?
It was a different time (1975).
