Canada is the only place that GM makes money year after year. They made 550 million last year with only a couple of assembly plants. Health care is primarily absorbed by the government. The pension plan is almost fully funded. The workers are paid in Canadian dollars and the cars are sold in American dollars. They should settle up with their workers who are the most productive, build the best quality, and cost the least. If they don't it will be just one more example of why GM is sinking so fast. GM doesn't have a problem settling with their Toyota/GM (NUMMI) plant workers or their Suzuki/GM (CAMI) workers. If GM was business savvy they would build more plants in Canada like Toyota and Honda are.
