Canada is not entitled to a foreign company doing business there. Your countrymen are not entitled to working for them. Of course its carefully planned. You think the executives are risking their bonuses on haphazard and frivolous financial decisions? Don't be naive.

How was Canada uncompetitive because we won't work for $2 an hour get over yourself. You can talk about General Motors being a foreign company but Oshawa is where the carriage company started for McLaughlin. Canada was there since day one https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_Canada Last edited by IMadeYouReadThis; 02-07-2019 at 07:51 AM. |

History Edit
McLaughlin and Buick Edit McLaughlin Motor Car Company was founded in 1907. Samuel McLaughlin and William C. Durant, respectively the biggest carriage builders in Canada and the United States, contracted for Durant's Buick to supply McLaughlin with power trains for 15 years. McLaughlin fitted the power trains to running gear, bodies and chassis built by McLaughlin in Canada. The cars were branded McLaughlin until the end of the contract. McLaughlin-Buick was the brand between 1923 and 1942. In 1908 Durant and McLaughlin started General Motors Holding Company after Durant exchanged $500,000 of Buick stock for $500,000 of McLaughlin Motor Co. stock. McLaughlin also exchanged his Buick stock for General Motors stock, and in 1910 was invited to be on the board of General Motors in Detroit. |

Chevrolet Edit
In 1915 McLaughlin acquired the Chevrolet Car Company of Canada, which built Chevrolets in Oshawa with Chevrolet motors and McLaughlin bodies. In 1918 he merged his company with it under the name General Motors of Canada Limited prior to his becoming director and vice president of General Motors on the approval of Durant, who was then president of General Motors and owner of the Chevrolet Motor Co. The Corporation moved people in 1918 after McLaughlin allied his Company with the Corporation unknown to Robert McLaughlin. The McLaughlins were given GM stocks for the propriortorship of the Canadian Company and $10,000,000 to build Walkerville and Canadian Products,[4] but not ownership |
