Invest WindsorEssex October meeting with Stellantis-LG
There’s now a playbook to court EV investment

It’s no exaggeration to say that when Windsor was approached by LG Energy early last year about establishing an EV battery plant, Invest WindsorEssex merely dropped a folder on desk and said, “Here you go.”

Doug_Ford_Woodbridge_masks
The end of masking won’t be an off switch

The pandemic has dealt emotional blows to every Canadian, and the mask is a symbol of that. Retailers need to be cautious of how they handle customers as mask mandates end.

Invest in suppliers to make the switch to EVs

The suppliers that carve out an electric future won’t be free and clear, though. They’ll still be subject to the pressures of rising prices, semiconductor shortages, trade conflicts, future pandemics and bridge blockades. They need some government support.

GM Oshawa Door Assembly
GM Canada just rocked the industry, and it might already be story of the year

It’s entirely possible that the top automotive news story of 2022 has already happened: GM Canada hired 1,200 people to reboot the Oshawa Assembly Plant, and about half were women.

With luxury tax looming and microchips scarce, sales favour high-end brands

A combination of automakers focusing production on high-margin vehicles amid the global microchip shortage, consumers sitting on stacks of pandemic cash, and a looming federal levy on vehicle purchases of $100,000 or more is leading to a surge in luxury sales.

Diversity is the best part about the 2021 Canadians to Watch

There are more women in influential positions, and there are more people of colour, on the latest list of Canadian to Watch.

2021 Hyundai Kona EV
Automakers need to bring customers along for the EV ride

The need for public education is no surprise, but it’s anyone’s guess just how wide that knowledge gap is. And that’s where the industry needs to focus.

Proposed luxury tax: Flexing political arrogance

According to the budget, the amount of tax is the lesser of 10 per cent of the full value of the vehicle, or 20 per cent of the value above $100,000.

Even EVs can’t escape ‘fuel tax’

One could argue that if electricity is taxed then EV owners are already paying a “fuel tax” for charging their vehicles.

Men, it’s time to have the talk

When Automotive News Canada Editor-in-Chief Jeff Melnychuk tuned in to watch the two 45-minute online Automotive News Canada Leading Women Roundtable sessions, he expected to hear the participants discuss the headway being made regarding gender diversity, however slow. That's not even close to what happened.

Preparation key to preventing 2nd COVID-19 shutdown
From mandatory showers to not sharing pencils, Quebec dealers lay out safety plan

The Quebec dealers’ association has laid out a detailed health and safety framework for dealerships to reopen their service departments — which were deemed an essential service April 15 — providing a glimpse of the new normal for retail operations nationwide. 

Assume a data attack is coming

Being terrified isn’t much of a plan for a data breach, nor is doing nothing, but if the “aha!” moment is realizing that a breach is inevitable, you have a chance to control the outcome.

Calling the Mach-E a Mustang? Brilliant

Is a Mustang purist going to buy a Mach-E? Not likely, and that’s what makes it brilliant marketing. 

Why watch the Canadians to Watch?

The Canadians to Watch share one thing: They point the way to the future of the auto industry.
