Canada Declares Stellantis in Default for Moving Jeep Production to U.S.
The core issue here is straightforward: Canada is holding Stellantis to account. When the government provides significant financial incentives, often tied to creating and maintaining jobs within the country, it expects companies to honor their agreements. Moving Jeep production to the United States, as Stellantis has done, has triggered a “notice of default,” signaling that Canada believes the company has broken its promises. This isn’t just a slap on the wrist; it’s a statement about the importance of upholding agreements and protecting Canadian workers.
The underlying sentiment is clear: Canada isn’t happy with Stellantis’s decision.… Continue reading

Canada threatens Stellantis with legal action over plan to shift output to US. This is a pretty big deal, and it’s got a lot of folks talking – and not always in the most positive way about Stellantis. It seems the Canadian government is seriously considering taking legal action because of the company’s plans to move production south of the border. And honestly, after everything I’ve read, it’s hard not to see where the frustration is coming from.
One of the biggest issues at play here is a significant debt. Apparently, Stellantis, or rather, its predecessors, received a hefty bailout from the Canadian government way back in 2009 – to the tune of $2.9 billion.… Continue reading

Jeep maker Stellantis says it will lose $2.7 billion due partly to tariffs. That’s a hefty chunk of change, and it’s got a lot of people talking – and not always kindly. For those unfamiliar, Stellantis is a global automotive giant, the parent company of some pretty recognizable brands like Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, and Ram. So, when they announce a financial hit this significant, it definitely gets noticed.

Ford’s recent price hike on three of its Mexico-produced models—the Mustang Mach-E, Maverick pickup, and Bronco Sport—is a stark illustration of the lingering effects of past trade policies. The increases, reaching as much as $2,000 on certain models, are explicitly attributed to tariffs, making Ford one of the first major automakers to directly pass these costs onto consumers. This decision comes on the heels of Ford’s announcement that the effects of these tariffs would add approximately $2.5 billion to their overall costs by 2025, leading to a suspension of their annual earnings guidance. The ripple effect is undeniable, and it’s prompting serious concerns about the affordability and accessibility of vehicles for many consumers.… Continue reading
Canada is poised to impose a 25% tariff on US-made automobiles that fail to comply with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), a move reportedly announced by a Canadian official. This action stems from ongoing trade disagreements and underscores the complexities of international trade relations. The specific details regarding which vehicles will be affected remain somewhat murky, leading to considerable speculation and discussion.
The situation highlights the intricate nature of automotive manufacturing, where components often originate from numerous countries, making simple categorization challenging. A significant factor determining whether a vehicle is subject to the tariff is the proportion of North American-made parts, particularly those manufactured by workers earning a minimum wage of $16 USD per hour, and the usage of North American steel.… Continue reading
