Bad news if we go with the Germans - their timelines will kills us.They are hooped if this demand is firm:
Canada's $12-billion submarine order needs auto plant in return: Joly
Germany and South Korea are in the running; Hyundai says it won't build a plant, but Germany seems open to itdriving.ca
It's hard to tell if Joly is just doing the bad cop part of a routine or she's actually imposing a hard requirement which is supported by cabinet. I think the ambiguity is purposeful.
Until there is another government south of the border there is no market for Korean cars made in Canada. We can't hope to absorb all the output. Be better to agree on an assembly line for tanks. Goodness knows there will be enough GM/Stellantis plants available the way Trump is going
