GM reveals the real reason its halting Canadian production and laying off workers—and it’s not Trump’s tariffs

Canada's subsidiary of General Motors said on Friday that it is temporarily halting production and cutting staff at an assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, because of lower-than-expected demand for its electric delivery vehicles.

GM Canada said the decision to halt production at the CAMI Assembly through most of the spring and summer is related to market demand and high inventory for the BrightDrop vehicle — and not because of the tariffs the United States has imposed on Canadian vehicle production.
