Waymo plans expansion with Magna in Michigan, will hire 400 people

Canada’s ambassador to Washington, David McNaughton, says he is confident the United States will both pass the revised North American trade deal and lift tariffs on steel and aluminum.

Unifor cancelled a Friday news conference where it planned to detail a “significant escalation” in its fight to save General Motors’ Oshawa, Ont., assembly plant. Unifor didn't say why it pulled the plug and the automaker isn't talking.

Nissan Canada is recalling nearly 7,500 Altima sedans because a wiring problem could lead the rear doors to open while the window is down and the car is in motion.

In a loyal GM car town such as Oshawa, there will be some sales impact if Oshawa Assembly closes, but experts say it will be short-lived. Across the country, sales should remain stable and the product mix should offer what people are looking for, experts say. 

Ford Canada’s new CEO will be a Canadian, Dean Stoneley. Mark Buzzell leaves after two years to become director of North American fleet, lease and remarketing operations for Ford Motor Co. 

The GM CEO said what wasn't well communicated with plans to end output at five plants were the opportunities the company has for displaced workers, particularly in the U.S. The company says it's identified 5,000 new jobs for workers who will lose their current job in Oshawa, Ont.

"All of us have a voice and we should be using that voice to talk to our governments to get that solved," the Canadian supplier's CEO said of the metal tariffs currently in place.

Toyota Motor North America CEO Jim Lentz said the automaker has no plans to expand its manufacturing footprint in Canada, adding that it would only do so if Canada was more globally competitive.

Don Walker, the CEO of Canada's largest supplier, says if the numbers work out, it would consider a North American plant for contract manufacturing. GM's Oshawa plant might be a possibility once the automaker ends production there.

About 100 workers at supplier Inteva Products in Whitby, Ont., were back on the job Wednesday after walking out the day before in protest of GM's decision to close its Oshawa assembly plant. Unifor President Jerry Dias promises protests and events "day in, day out" until GM reverses its decision to close Oshawa.
