The resurrection of auto jobs in the U.S. may be less far fetched than we know. The Canadian dollar Vs. the U.S. dollar exchange rate is much less attractive than it was when the big 3 went north. GM lost $300 million last year due to exchange rate flux with Canada. These gyrations can't continue. Eventually the U.S. and Mexico start looking very attractive, especially in light of recent UAW concessions. There are 265,000 UAW members in Canada,or about 1/2 of the total membership.
This exchange rate situation is very important to a lot of people,and may save the U.S. The balance of trade #'s went down last month for the first time in my memory.Our stuff is cheap(inexpensive), come on world,"BUY IT".
