The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that President Donald Trump has said the United States doesn't need Canadian automobiles, but Honda's new investment in Alliston and Ford's reopened plant in Oakville suggest otherwise. The Globe's Eric Atkins writes that Ford's factory west of Toronto has reopened to produce pickup trucks for U.S. buyers. Even before the official launch later in November, F-Series Super Duty trucks are being shipped to Canada and the U.S., supporting full-capacity production at plants in Kentucky and Ohio. About 2,000 workers have returned to the plant. One observer says, "This is a good news story." The Oakville plant turned out 3,488 trucks in October, as Ford is set to make more than one million F-Series trucks in 2026. Honda said Monday it is investing $166-million in its Ontario plant to restart its engine shop and update models for hybrid-electric and gas-powered cars, part of a larger $867-million investment. The investment will help Honda meet demand while maintaining 4,000 jobs at the plant northwest of Toronto, Honda said Monday. Honda is enjoying strong demand for the plant's cars, the CRV and Civic, and ships much of its 400,000-plus production to the U.S.
