no that only affects the Ontario economy. The gov't there has put so much stock into the UAW that they have to support them. They are blind like the US gov't to not see the UAW is the worst of all unions. They have destroyed the quality of production of domestic vehicles. If you have GM or Ford at $60000 and a toyota or Honda for $60000 you are guaranteed that the GM or Ford won't even be comparable in quality to the same Honda or Toyota.
With that being said, there is still a trend seeing more production moving to Canada because the UAW is fleecing the US plants with health care and benefits. Because health care is free(if you want to call it that) in Canada it becomes much cheaper to produce, even with the dollar at par.
