@chris the union has been raising some legitimate concerns about the role of Canadian auto-parts supply chain in Chinese EV assembly. I'm not saying that this is reason enough to stop the plan, but it's not unreasonable.

@tobiaspatton I hear that. And as union person I am sensitive to that. But also as a realist, I know that China, and their automakers in particular, have pioneered new manufacturing processes ("dark factories” there was a good CBC report this week) that will inevitably be taken up by all manufacturers. So we can either be part of that now, or later.

@chris I tend to agree with this stance. But I think we need to look after displaced workers the best we can.
