We Canadians are in a weird place - socialism isn’t a dirty word up here (except as imported from American culture)… but we’re still deep into neoliberalism with both the LPC and CPC being strongly neoliberal parties… the only national party arguably opposed to neoliberalism is the NDP.
Nationalize who? The only domestic companies are GM, Ford, and Tesla. This isn’t about protecting those three companies, it’s about protecting all of them.
Sounds like a good reason to nationalize the car industry and not worry about making a profit.

Yea and that’s more than half of the cars driven in the United States.
More like 34%. Tesla is 4%, Ford 13% and GM 16.9% in the US
Everybody is forgetting Chrysler/Dodge for some reason.
“The national breakdown as determined by the data is 55.55 percent for domestic makes and 44.45 percent for foreign makes.”

this map shows that there’s a lot of variance in ownership by state tho.
Chrysler/Dodge/RAM/Jeep are owned by a company based in the Netherlands.
Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep
They’re owned by a company from the Netherlands.
Sounds like a good way to end up making Yugos.
Yugos were great cars for the time and for what Yugoslavia needed and could build.
You and I have very different memories of Yugos.
