Yesterday GM announced they are closing the Truck plant in Oshawa Ontario, workers here are furious as they just negotiated a contract with many concessions 3 weeks ago...

I feel for the workers as the plant has won many quality awards, but GM management is hopeless. GM\Holden in australia sells 4wd 4cyl 4 door turbo diesel pickups, that get 8.1L/100km, why these aren't available here boggles my mind. I know the profit margins are bigger on big vehicles but selling something smaller beats selling nothing...
