What are you trying to explain? If you listened to most Canadians, they would likely say CAW workers are overpaid.

The general public are not fools. If a company is treated as a "darling", it is almost always because they have worked hard to earn themselves a good reputation. If Toyota screws up and treats the car buying public poorly, consumers won't quickly forget. But it is immature to constantly blame everyone else for the failures of Detroit automakers.
