General Motors’ St. Catharines, Ont., plant will get new equipment and become one of three GM plants to produce the truck and SUV engines, joining U.S. plants in Buffalo, N.Y., and Flint, Mich. (The Logic)
Talking point: After cutting staff, pausing investments or halting production at three of its Canadian sites since the start of the trade war, Industry Minister Mélanie Joly warned GM in February that if it did not continue investing in Canada, she would try to claw back millions from its subsidy packages—and invest the money in its competitors. Since then, GM has committed to a $63-million upgrade for its Oshawa, Ont., plant, and solidified a path forward for the St. Catharines plant, which has received just $828 million of the $3.3 billion GM has invested in Canada since 2020. Still, the company is no closer to providing clarity on the fate of its Ingersoll, Ont., electric vehicle plant, saying Wednesday that it “continues to assess the site for future opportunities.”
