The Globe and Mail reports in its Saturday edition that Canadian policy-makers are grappling with how to persuade U.S. and Japanese automakers to continue manufacturing in Canada if they cannot sell tariff-free in the U.S. The Globe's Mark Rendell writes that Ottawa has allocated $2-billion for an "automotive strategy," which includes emergency loans for parts makers, according to Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association head Flavio Volpe. A significant portion aims to encourage major automakers -- Ford, GM, Stellantis, Honda and Toyota -- to retool Canadian factories for vehicles with better domestic sales potential. For decades in North America, automakers have not had to consider borders, operating under the assumption that the continent functions as a single market. So far, only GM has publicly said it is reorienting production to align more with national markets. In the spring, the company announced it was increasing production of the Chevy Silverado pickup truck at its plant in Indiana, while cutting back production of the same truck at its plant in Oshawa -- from 150,000 to 100,000 a year -- with plans to sell Canadian-made Silverados domestically. Demand for Silverados in Canada is only about 50,000 a year.
