If @FlavioVolpe1's plan comes together, Canadian automotive workers will soon be building military vehicles, creating a crucial backstop for an industry imperilled by the trade war with the United States. begiant.ca/stories/people/fl…

My address to @YorkUniversity convocation yesterday: “The only thing that matters is how we treat each other. You will have successes. You will have disappointments. Your plans will change. Keep your kindness. Keep your honesty. Keep your loyalty to the people who trust you.”

that Ferrari premiered its Testarossa in 1984, AUDI AG launched the R8 in 2006 and JLR first show the F-Type in 2012. As Prime Minister Mark Carney challenged us to explore closer ties and opportunities in Europe, our Vector prototype is there to tell the story /2

Tomorrow, the inaugural Canada Investment Summit kicks off in Toronto featuring projects of national interest. Tonight the PM said $120T of investment capital will be represented in the room. I am grateful that our Hanwha-APMA JV to build 🇨🇦defence systems is in the pitch book.
Why I’m very excited about @APMACanada & Hanwha JV for 🇨🇦: 1. We have signed a definitive agreement to establish a 51/49 🇨🇦-LED JV to manufacture land-based defence systems & vehicles for the CAF & export. 2. Our Project Arrow Defence Industries will jointly develop NEW /1

Peak car production at the Stellantis Brampton plant: 1,000/day. Stellantis has several* cars it can allocate there for 2029/30. POTENTIAL production for a defence contract that hasn’t even been awarded: 2 or 3/ day (thumb, index, middle). Let not even pretend here please.
Stellantis NV has signed a memorandum with a Canadian armored vehicle manufacturer that outlines steps toward the sale of an idled car factory near Toronto — a move that represents yet another ripple effect of US tariffs on the Canadian auto sector. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Canadians bailed out Stellantis’ Chrysler 2x - 1979 & 2009 for billions. Stellantis has 2029/30MY vehicles it can assign to Brampton. Roshel can build LUVs anywhere, it doesn’t have to be there. Stellantis trying to sell it to Roshel in the middle of @UniforTheUnion talks /1
Stellantis has signed an MOU that outlines steps to sell its Brampton plant to Roshel, a Canadian armoured vehicle manufacturer. Last year, after Trump imposed his auto tariffs, Stellantis moved planned Jeep production away from that plant to the US bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

When the moments are the toughest, you find the people who will be there to fight with you. @FlavioVolpe1 has always been there, fighting for the 🇨🇦 auto industry and for Canada. He never will stop. Proud to call him friend and co-conspirator. Let’s keep fighting. Together.
This is a public note of admiration & appreciation for @Lanampayne & @UniforTheUnion. I represent Employers, but the labour movement in auto has been an inspiration in defence of 🇨🇦. Lana especially is a prodigious 🇨🇦 leading from the front. We are all stronger because of her.

A little after midnight, Unifor and General Motors reached a tentative agreement. We kept calm and we carried on with the work for our auto members. So very proud of our bargaining committees from Locals 222, 199, 88 and 636. On to ratification. autotalks.uniforautohub.ca/u…

China demanded auto market access to release other 🇨🇦 sectors from their grip. The WH wants to end auto assembly in 🇨🇦 as its #1 goal. Auto is a core national capability for both superpowers. Suggesting 🇨🇦s auto manufacturing is yesterday’s industry is deliberately misleading.

Great to talk to @paulanewtonCNN on @CNN about the state of play in Canada-US talks. I’m “optimistic but not yet confident” that we will bridge the gaps between us by August 19 deadline.

Re Canada-US talks: On matters of substance, there are mutually-recognized, overlapping interests that would reward a renewed partnership. There are also material actions & retaliations that will need to be reconciled. Current, senior, in-person discussions feed my optimism.

A 🧵 Unpacking U.S. spin on trade. The U.S. is the aggressor in this trade war, expecting Canada to roll over and keep taking the hits. Capitulate to their demands/extortion. Yet, the U.S. is trying to paint Canada as the aggressor. I know, gaslighting. /1
