>16$ an hour is less than what they pay in Canada.

It's the equivalent of 16. USD. So around 22. CAD?

I agree, nothing is moving to Canada (comment was more aimed at Mexico)I guess since you work for a supplier you heard of FORD probably closing down their Oakville Assembly plant since they are not assigning any vehicle production to that plant after they stop making the Edge and the Lincoln equivalent.

They've also closed the Oshawa GM Plant, and they've reduced a shift at the FCA minivan plant. GM exited Windsor about 20 years ago. If anything the new agreement is aimed at re-balancing auto back to the US and Canada. We had a great automotive relationship in the past, it's mutually beneficial to both economies as there are strengths and weaknesses in the US industry and Canadian Industry. I'm interested to see what happens. I want to see Detroit as great as it was before NAFTA destroyed it.
