HONDA EV PLANT DEAL | What does this mean for Ontario? 

It means rolling blackouts.

lol EV sales have slumped so yea let’s pour billions of tax payers money into it

so subsidize the manufacture of batteries, then subsidize the production of EV cars, subsidize the charging stations,then give rebates to consumers to buy Electric cars, what could possibly go wrong?

This should have been done prior to the carbon tax. Just like houses should have been built prior to the immigration push

More Canadian tax dollars. Surprise surprise.

All EV but no doctor's

It means that the plant will be ready after 2 years because EV's are slumping

Future extra large indoor paintball facilities for Ontariario. A place to stand, inline.

An industry so successful it requires 5 billion tax dollars to succeed

This will be awesome for when EVs finally fail.

Where are the raw materials coming from from?

How much more will tax payers will have to pay to own an EV vehicle ❓😑

Waste of money

Nobody is buying battery cars in big numbers 😂

The Minister in charge of this is not bothered that tax payers money from BC, Alberta, Manitoba, Newfoundland etc is being diverted to build another EV plant in Ontario. He is just interested in the 1000 jobs that will be created by using $5 billion of tax payers money to create 1000 jobs. He has even admitted that these will not be just Canadian jobs, as workers will need to be brought in, as Canada has never built a battery car before. I wonder what the final percentage of jobs will be Canadian vs foreign. As we have seen with other EV plants that have had Canadian tax payers money used, that will be bringing in workers from Korea and not solely sourced Canadian jobs. Trudeau has said this will build a strong economy. Can someone explain where, when we have had to use tax payers money to practically pay for and build these plants. Then we have the tax incentives where they will be paying no tax, to have these tax paying funded/bought for jobs in place

Who wants to buy a EV CAR????😂😂😂

It means that big foreign owned corporations get tax breaks, but small corporations where professionals saved retirement funds get a tax increase.

Ontarians paying Honda billions-of-dollars to create jobs so they can be paid-back with the money they'd gave them......hard times ahead for the province under this kind of leadership

The Province of Ontario should implement Right to Work legislation - make union dues optional. Tens of thousands of new manufacturing jobs & around $1200 per year for every non union worker in Ontario.

EV batteries only last 7-10 years and cost $25-35,000 to replace.

Why should taxpayers pay for this while Honda and executives walk away with the profits that we are paying for.

There were no job opportunities like this in Goderich, Ontario.

LNG and the transcananda pipeline for export, evs for domestic. Nonsensical energy policies.

Doug Ford is one of the most effective leaders in the country, kudos to him and his team

1000 jobs for 5 Billion = 5 million per $30 jobs that will be like 16.6 years for tax payers to get money back

Ironically, EVs are not popular in Japan. There Honda make reasonable, ICEV compacts. Here, we'll get EV behemoths.

Hopefully taxes will go up to attract new investment to Canada from our government. 🇨🇦 Hopefully union due's will be going to support the liberal party.

This may bankrupt the province nobody is buying EV 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Honda finally sees the EV Road, wth the help of Taxpayers $$$$$😂

Pointless, when Pierre wins this stupidity will come to an end.

Who will be still paying for this government’s favouring of the EV industry that has yet to find certainty in its market share. Consumers cannot be forced…..And one choice is to extend the life of their existing vehicles.

We need plants like this in British Columbia. We have a major port and a massive coastline.

Grandios!

With 5 to 7 percent interest rate even middle class Canadian can’t afford to buy EV. Remove Carbon Tax now.

If they can make a car that the masses can afford (price around 25K), then this investment is worth.

So proud,made in Canada

5 million per job
