The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that the government of Canada is threatening to sue automaker Stellantis NV over its move to shift production of the Jeep Compass to Illinois from Brampton, Ont. The Globe's Eric Atkins and Robert Fife write that Industry Minister Mélanie Joly issued the warning in a letter to Antonio Filosa, chief executive officer of Stellantis, which on Tuesday unveiled a $13-billion (U.S.) plan to boost auto production in the United States by 50 per cent over four years. U.S. President Donald Trump imposed 25-per-cent import taxes on cars, which are costing U.S.-based automakers billions of dollars, driving down profits and snarling supply chains built on decades of free trade. Automakers in Ontario have taken steps that include slashing jobs, reducing or delaying production and absorbing the tariffs as exports to the U.S. have fallen. Stellantis's Brampton plant has been closed for retooling for almost two years and was to produce the Compass SUV when it reopened. The Brampton plant was built in 1986 and employed more than 3,000 hourly workers when it closed for construction in 2023. Stellantis spokeswoman LouAnn Gosselin said in a statement that Canada is "very important to us."
