Canada's auto industry is at a crossroads, with a dire warning issued to policymakers that the country's trade policy must be overhauled to prevent the loss of local assembly operations. In an opinion piece set to be published in Automotive News, industry experts are sounding the alarm that Canada risks following in the footsteps of Australia, where local car manufacturing has disappeared altogether. With the Big Three automakers - General Motors, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) - already scaling back production in the country, the warning signs are clear that Canada's auto industry is in crisis mode. If left unchecked, the consequences could be devastating for the economy and workers in the sector, highlighting the urgent need for a revised trade policy that prioritizes the preservation of local assembly operations.
