The blockades have started disrupting production.
Both Ford Motor Co and Toyota Motor Corp said on Wednesday they had been forced to halt some operations because of supply chain disruptions stemming from protests that have snarled traffic at the Ambassador Bridge connecting Detroit and Windsor. Chrysler-maker Stellantis has also been disrupted.
Toyota, the top U.S. seller, said it was not expecting to produce vehicles at its Ontario sites for the rest of the week.
Ford’s engine plant in Windsor is shut down and the schedule cut back at its Oakville assembly plant outside Toronto that makes the Edge model, spokesperson Said Deep said Wednesday an email. The automaker is continuing to ship engine inventory to U.S. plants, he added.
General Motors Co said today it was forced to cancel two production shifts at a plant in Michigan where it builds sport utility vehicles as a result of the Canadian trucking protests.
Flipping the narrative– I’m just doing what they have done to us for 2 years
Relax! It’s just for two weeks!
Or they could just make the choice and end the mandates.
Two weeks to FLATTEN THE GOVERNMENT.
Love it
Love that!
No car production? Gerry Butts and Steven Guilbeault are ecstatic.
Jagmeet Singh doesn’t care, he drives a BMW.
Let GM and Chrysler squirm and fail. Any company that accepted bail out cash from the US and Canadian governments after the financial crisis should be doomed.
It’s unfortunate for Toyota and Ford but thems the breaks when you support tyrrany.
All the car companies and associated suppliers forced their employees to take the jab. All of them outsourced their production to a world wide model based on the Toyota model. Jerry Diaz didn’t support his workers. Just another deep state crony
Two years ago the government had to do what’s right even if they had to override the freedom’s of the citizen’s.
Now the government is failing us, cases are on the rise, so these brave individuals are doing what needs to be done regardless of the cost.. closing the border to stop the spread.
Let’s all get behind them and reach covid zero! Don’t worry, it’s only for two weeks
/s
Exactly. The government shut down the economy for two years. They just hate that somebody else has that power too. Tolerant, transparent, open-minded Liberals cannot abide sharing power.
Let’s see how asswipe extraordinaire and liberal fellatio artist Gerry Diaz spins this with his union members. Oh… while I think of it, has Fat Fuck Ford shown his pasty, blubbery face lately? Or is he letting his Health Gorgon do all the bloviating and lying?
TheTurd&co are losing ground, and it’s beautiful! 🙂
– PM heckled in Parliament yesterday + 2nd Liberal jumping off ship yesterday
– production issues on both sides now while truckers are gaining momentum 🙂
– idiot mayor Tory falling for the ‘threat’ that part of convoy will move to Toronto (man, this one was so sweet to see last night! 🙂 what a bunch of scared morons, preparing Toronto like for the impeding invasion of a horde of Mongols)
– threatening that they are going after the kids (what a scumbag move) thus actually strengthening everyone’s resolve
– CTVNews’ Lisa LaFlamme overly smiley and faking confidence last night but you could tell that there is some concern in the inner circle of vip presstitutes
– Canadian flag = symbol of Liberty and Freedom around the world!!! 🙂 How beautiful is that, eh? I have tears of joy every time I see in NZ, France, Italy, Australia, that they use our flag like that.
DanC, It’s all F*CKING gorgeous isn’t it?????
“ Canadian flag = symbol of Liberty and Freedom around the world!!! ”
That’s got to burn PM leisure suit Larry that the liberal rag got co-opted by that deplorable rabble of some where’s.
DanC
It’s simply Facking AWESOME…… isn’t it…!!!
Fox is in town in person.!! (when has that EVER happened..??), Truck /Farm implement convoys gathering throughout the still FREE world…!!
Freedom is contagious.
Truckers were were going to snarl traffic in Toronto, but when they got there they found they couln’t make it any worse that it already is…
Dan, Canada is once again liberating nations and not one dead soldier-I guess those truckers are my generation’s version of storming the Beaches of Normandy?
Too bad the auto makers stopped making parts in Canada to build “Canadian” cars. Make foolish mistakes and pay a foolish price.
A two-week lockdown to flatten the curve of tyranny.
Now what sensible person could ever have a problem with that?
Yup, the auto production cuts made the news over here on BBC Radio 4 this morning.
I’m still waiting for the railway blockades to start.
Government shuts down economy to stop the spread of a disease that has a 99% recovery rate. MSM :”yeah!!!!!!”
Truckers shut down border to stop spread of government overreach. MSM:”INSURRECTION REEEEEE!”
Can someone anyone get that statement from the protest organizers that they want Parliament disbanded?
Asking for a friend.
Trudeau should be glad them truckers have made such a contribution to reducing our carbon footprint.
I call BS, my vet wrecked her car in an accident and can’t find a used one for sale that is under 11 years old. She can’t buy a brand new one because you have to order one and it could take up to a year. Blaming the truckers for the chip and parts backlog is just another fake media story.
No one can afford a new if you can get one. The Hyundai dealer in our area had seven cars on the lot a few weeks ago an two of them were used. A friend is a small used car dealer and he has about 10 to 15 cars and has had to pay a serious price to get them just to stay in business. He usually has about a 50 car inventory. Don’t you just love the “covid” lie. How much longer will people believe this crap?
quoting Temujin from the Althouse blog:
Biden has to be nice in his speaking about the Truckers. In fact, Biden will need to remove all vaccine mandates for any truckers.
They will be just like illegal aliens now, free to come and go, sans vaccine.
The thing is: our supply chain is so wrecked as it is, our economy is staring over the edge of a gulch with inflation, lack of materials and supplies, and lack of labor, and coming off of 2 years of shut downs…Biden cannot afford to have the Ambassador Bridge closed for long. He will come out for the Truckers. And Trudeau, who is a dead politician walking, will have to let free Canada be free Canada.
lol….just how is Ford going to ship engines to the US?
Will be difficult, no doubt.
lol….Honk Honk
Ottawa was just a shot over the bow.
Blocking the Ambassador and Blue Water bridges in the boot on the throat of Ontario’s economy.
Just a few more days and they’ll cry uncle.
Shipping containers.
Here I thought I was going to see some pictures of union picket lines. And honkers.
Truckers never cease to amaze me. With the injunction in place, the #honk has been replaced with #Vrooom!
