Vancouver King Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 How did the Conservatives miss this one? An ad designed to show Harper's economic acumen featured the CLOSED CAMARO ASSEMBLY PLANT in Ontario. This closure resulted in 1,000 direct, high pay job losses. With the millions in donations the Tories receive one would expect better research on ad symbolism. And round one goes to - not the Conservatives.

Freddy Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) We have a hard time understanding the simplest of economic concepts. Someone on here suggested giving money to poor parents could solve stupidity. I think it's hilarious That the Harper Government understands so well, how stupid the Canadian population is. How everyone has lost simple logical understanding of reality. Edited May 25, 2015 by Freddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably filmed before the Liberal's incompetence in Ontario caused the plant to close. It's very difficult for the federal party to improve Canada's economy when you have feeble minded idiots at the provincial level seemingly doing everything then can to destroy their own province's economy. It's particularly hard when it's in the largest province in Canada. The government of Ontario has done everything in its power to make the development of new mines difficult, if not impossible, to make forestry less profitable, and to destroy the provinces manufacturing base. Hard to see how this is Harper's fault. Meanwhile in Quebec, their economy continues to be fouled up and slowed down by french language rules and anti-business regulations. Seen the oil development in Quebec? No? Because they won't allow it. Edited May 25, 2015 by Civis Romanus sum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hey, look at the bright side. Canada won't have to bail out foreign car makers anymore once Ontario is finished driving all auto manufacturing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the Liberals are to blame, so maybe the Cons put it there to show that Canada will shut down like the Camaro plant if, you know, the Liberals get elected federally. Round one goes to anybody who doesn't vote Liberal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vancouver King Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Liberals to blame for loss of auto jobs in Ontario? Harper unloaded remaining $3 billion of GM stock recently to balance the current budget, thus relinquishing any leverage over GM for auto layoffs.

Mighty AC Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Hey, look at the bright side. Canada won't have to bail out foreign car makers anymore once Ontario is finished driving all auto manufacturing out. Oddly enough Harper is loaning hundreds of millions to foreign car makers that don't manufacture anything in Canada whatsoever. They've loaned more money to VWs Mexican operations than Mexico has.

Thank goodness the CBC made this news today, how else would people know about something that is so irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Sorry but you are wrong, under the PC government, Harris let the Auto Pact expire and therefore, no auto sold didn't have to be produced in Ontario, which started the ball rolling to Mexico and southern US.

On Guard for Thee Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I would have thought these type ads, especially such a short one, would have been gone over frame by frame to look for such glaring errors before release. If you know anything about cars, its not hard to recognize a Camaro rolling along a soon to be defunct assembly line. If I was Harper I would be finding a new ad agency, or, even better, a new job.

Harper unloaded remaining $3 billion of GM stock recently to balance the current budget, thus relinquishing any leverage over GM for auto layoffs. Three billion in stock is chump change to GM. They're not going to base any decisions on where to locate auto plants on what some minority stockholder wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topaz Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 GM is going to feel the pain , just like Honda when the lawsuits over their ignition switches, I hear it could be well over 1 billion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Kudos to the Conservatives for putting out an ad that shoots themselves in the foot and makes Trudeau look like a tool. The NDP thanks you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I like the ad....retro GM muscle cars should not be built in Canada anyway. Most are sold and driven in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
