General Motors plans to invest C$1.1 billion in its Ontario auto sector operations, including C$144 million to add production of the next-generation heavy-duty GMC Sierra truck at its Oshawa plant. This move comes amid rising US tariffs on Canadian vehicles, with President Trump threatening to increase tariffs to 50% starting January 1. The investment deal, contingent on union worker approval, also includes commitments to support new V8 engine production and to keep the CAMI assembly plant in Ingersoll open while exploring alternative uses. The development is significant as it affects the future of Canada's auto industry amid stalled US-Canada trade talks focused on vehicle tariffs.
