Honda heard about the sweet deal VW got

[tedpoplawski]

Wonder if this “ deal” will be similar to the one signed with Stellantis? Bringing in a few thousand foreign workers, all the while being subsidized by Canadian tax payers.

[inmybox]

The canadian government will literally pay Honda to build here and even allow them to bring in employees and give them the land and taxes for the next 50 years at no cost

[ronpeer]

How much will this cost us. No more tax payer money for this.

As a Canadian living in such a vast resource rich country in Canada, perhaps we Canadians start questioning why is it we can't manufacture our own brand vehicles and share it's profits equally amongst all Canadians We have all resources here for Ev technology!! no need to wager wars for any commodities, we got it all right here in Canada!!

[ronaldj.mcaleer]

Of course they are …”FREE BILLLONS IN TAXPAYERS DOLLARS”

[tc]

not a single like. id say its safe to say canadians say no.

[joemadden]

Honda is only going to build hybrids, not full EVS.

Honda is smart.

[Tibbymach-rj]

Where exactly do Honda's profits go in Canada?

[ianhowes]

I'm sure it all depends on how many taxpayer dollars they can suck out of our pocket with the support of Comrade Turdeau!

[Tibbymach-rj]

government only caters to 20% of workforce which are Union jobs, the remaining 80% have no representation at all , they carry the burden of paying high slaved taxes!! Can you say Fascism!!

[fern]

Mexico be like "hey, you can build it here for 1/4 of the price!"

EV’s are stupid… I can’t wait until they roll a bunch out here in Canada so i can watch the giant shit show unfold, especially in the coldest provinces.. i know lots of people that bought them here in Alberta, and traded them in after a winter or two.

[charlesward]

Stupid idea! Canada is not a country to do business in! High taxes, a generally uneducated and lazy work force (especially in Quebec) and a federal government that is one step from the abyss. There are better jurisdictions to make this type of investment!

[deere]

Honda at least makes vehicles here and has for many years, unlike VW who builds zero here and all those batteries will be exported. Maybe Trudy will pull VW money and giveto Honda

[ashk]

China makes the best ev’s so why wouldn’t we let Chinese ev plant instead of shtty bum Honda

[eyewideopen]

Hahahaha in Canada? Don’t know about you but batteries in general don’t like the cold. And it is reported that car batteries loose from 30-60% capacity in freezing weather...can you see the callouts for boosts in Saskatoon and Winnipeg in the middle of winter let alone how much your distance-to-drive capacity would be reduced?.. what a joke. Good luck with that...

[mikearchibald]

LOL, anything to do with EV's are guaranteed to have hilarious comments. Anybody that doesn't know that electric vehicles are inevitable is dreaming. Hell I know full on blue collars who swear they will never touch another gas powered yard tool again. The ONLY reason electric cars aren't everywhere is that canada is a petro state. Now I'm off to fix my exhaust.
