Automaker Stellantis will move Jeep Compass production from Ontario to the U.S. despite earlier investment commitments in Canada.

Canadian officials are calling the move “a betrayal” and say legal action is on the table.

Follows lots of money (billions?) in EV subsidies and prior promises of long-term Canadian manufacturing jobs.

    rulership gaslighting us into continued sycophancy under abuse is a betrayal that enables these betrayals. as a cycle of waiting for more betrayals.

    Cancel F35s already, make US pay $70B/month for access to NORAD, and from those proceeds pay $2000/month UBI to Canadians.

      Cancel F35s already

      Repeatedly reminding people that we can’t renege on the part of the deal we’ve signed is getting tiresome. You understand how agreements work, right? Right?

        We do.

        Do YOU understand how Trump’s America thinks agreements work?

        I do, but it really doesn’t sound like you do.

        We absolutely can and should cancel the F-35 “deal”. I promise you: the sun will continue fusing hydrogen into helium the next day.

        Can’t renege on the part of the deal we’ve signed

        Well, that doesn’t seem to stop the US now does it?

        Laws and deals only work if both parties are trustworthy enough to honour their deals and follow the laws under an independent and impartial judiciary.

        Acting trustworthy with a party that is not trustworthy is insane. You need to make them understand that if they won’t keep their word, then no one else will keep theirs. Otherwise there is no incentive on the other party to behave. Do what the US does to others, and just don’t send the money.

          In your world, does “he broke the law so now I get to break the law too” sound like a smart idea?

            In most worlds, if one of two parties won’t follow the contract/treaty law, there is no law. But sure, you do you Chamberlain
