CTV is starting to get it. Even with knowing they’d run the risk of being sued, being loathed, and hurting the livelihoods of Canadian workers and relationships… Stellantis and others STILL chose to move out of Canada, cut jobs, and run south where it’s safer… why would they do that? Safer means: - predictable policy - stability - tax incentives - competitive environment - right to work (reduced union pressure in some states) - lower costs - less red tape Here’s the uncomfortable truth: The Carney government (and before that, Trudeau’s) has made ideological purity, net zero, DEI, and social scoring more important than competitiveness. They’ve created an environment where being profitable, using natural resources, or questioning the “green” narrative makes you a villain. So companies like Stellantis see the writing on the wall: “Why fight for years against a government that clearly doesn’t want industry to succeed?” It’s not just bad policy—it’s hostility toward the private sector itself.
