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.

What's Canada going to do when Stellantis is likely going to talk to the orange man to keep whatever legal action they may face at bay. It's all boiling down to business deals, despite kickbacks, contracts, incentives etc.

Here's a wild idea - maybe the feds should be massively transitioning to renewables (batteries, renewable energy, charging stations etc all need workers) and give current autoworkers jobs in that field or something that they can transfer their skills to? Make the transition seamless. But I'm sure no one in the federal government is willing to even begin thinking about that because, I believe politicians aren't willing to do the hard work to make it happen. They'd rather throw money at it to make the problem go away via corporate deals.
