The departure of GM from Ontario is a stark warning sign. It exposes deep flaws in Canada's industrial strategy—a reliance on promises rather than concrete measures to secure the future of its manufacturing sectors. The crisis underscores the need for bold, immediate actions: targeted support for affected workers, incentives to retain and attract industry, and a comprehensive national plan that balances climate ambitions with industrial resilience.
Without urgent intervention, Canada risks losing its manufacturing backbone, damaging its long-term economic stability and its ability to compete globally. Leaders must shift from rhetoric to action—embracing policies that safeguard jobs, foster innovation, and restore confidence in Canada’s industrial future.
