GM Invests in Canada’s Auto Future | US News

General Motors is pouring nearly $1.1 billion into Canadian auto plants, funding next-gen GMC Sierra trucks in Oshawa, new V8 engines in Ontario, and a transmission line in St. Catharines launching by late 2029. This comes as Canada battles 25% U.S. tariffs on vehicles—with threats of doubling them to 50% by 2027—and the future of auto plants is central to ongoing trade talks. Union approval is pending for a tentative agreement covering 4,600 workers, while GM pledges not to shutter its Ingersoll plant (CAMI) immediately, exploring future uses including possible defense contracts. Canada insists a robust auto sector must be part of any trade deal, especially as tariffs on heavy-duty trucks remain a key sticking point.
