Automaker Stellantis will move Jeep Compass production from Ontario to the U.S. despite earlier investment commitments in Canada.

Canadian officials are calling the move “a betrayal” and say legal action is on the table.

Follows lots of money (billions?) in EV subsidies and prior promises of long-term Canadian manufacturing jobs.

I'm okay if it fails, we will learn something. The only real hurdle is costs....where nationalizing their product would slash a significant cost and also if the designs are already approved for safety that's also another signiticant hurdle to bypass. Factory and employees also mostly solved. Further savings.

Canada manufacturers for the industry already, like this exact plant and the deal in place we are discussing already.

I'm also okay if we build a better vehicle and sell it abroad, perhaps leave out the battery and let other markets finish the production. I'm okay if it ultimately fails. Dare to dream
