Hypocritical Justin with Butts in Japan Car manufacturers need cheap Hydro. Ontario highest thanks to Butts. Japan will not invest in ONT.

Japan -country steeped in honour, tradition, respect, deference, sincerity, maturity, serious reflection etc.....we know why Justin failed.


2/ Energy cost to build car almost =labour costs. ONT increased hydro cost by 100% in 10yrs. So no way Japan deal







sunny story here:

Kevin Libin: Trudeau tries exporting his fiscal fallacies to Japan — where they’ve already failed | Financial Post




thanks to trudeau, butts and wynne.

sounds like the got a big "no thank you" but papered it over saying they were building relationships.

Magna, Ontario's largest manufacturing employer, has opened 5 plants in Michigan and Ohio in last 5 years. None in Ontario.

Wasn't a great day for either Trudeau. A misplaced letter on a prayer wish at a Shinto shrine the pair were visiting turned a plea for Courage, Love, Light, Peace by Sophie into one for Squash, Love, Light Peace. The twitter world is abuzz. Actually some of the tweets are pretty funny. "To get this short week off to a good start, a message from our first lady to the god of gourds."

Did he apologise for anything?


Anything at all?



Did he say "sorry" for our troops firing upon that Japanese "trade delegation" in Hong Kong back in Xmas '41?

She might now need a third taxpayer funded nanny so she can do more language coaching.

BC would be a better place to build cars anyway. Except the NOPEs and NIMBYs would crap their panties if hybrid cars were built where they live.

I saw a Japanese guy on the news tonight who was saying foreign negotiators in Japan don't get anywhere until at least the third meeting, so I guess Justin is doing as well as any of them! :)

Do you think Germans would ever build cars here?

The prefer to use cheap Untermenchen to build their cars, like the Brazilians and Mexicans.

Magna does make a number of sub-assemblies for BMW and Mercedes, though.

Reading the ctvnews.ca article about this issue compared to the financial posts version just makes me want to shake my head. The ctv is sugar coating things while the financial post is telling it how it is

What happens to Japanese 'tin cars' if radioactivity get to the metal before forming. Will it just fracture rather than bend in a crash like it should??
