One of the key things about assembling in Canada is there are inevitably cost efficiencies which produce local economic activity.

But also - this is all about Stellantis getting out of their contract violation(s) with Ontario and Canada. And that requires a certain number of skilled Canadian employees. Or cash.

There is a far greater risk to NAAM than there is to Canada's APMA.

It is also pointless to oppose this in Canada, as Mexico is already retailing and assembling.

But, being egalitarian, I see no reason why **all three** really bad/illogical reasons cannot all be true.

While Occam's razor agrees, it could also be a simpler conflict of interest: the north american automaker's hegemony against EVs protects the Ford family fortunes.
