Episode Synopsis

Canada built 1.3 million vehicles last year—yet only about 10% of the cars Canadians actually bought were made here. Lorraine Sommerfeld breaks down this eye-opening stat and the hidden truths behind Canada's shrinking auto industry. With exclusive data and sharp analysis, Lorraine reveals why Toyota and Honda are carrying Canadian production, how American lobby groups dominate headlines, and why Canadians buy Silverados from the U.S. and Mexico—despite building them in Oshawa. The conversation dives into union messaging, shifting EV realities, and the hard truth facing Canadian autoworkers: things are changing, fast. Understand what’s really driving Canada’s car economy—and why “buy Canadian” might not mean what it used to. GUEST:Lorraine Sommerfeldhttp://driving.ca Originally aired on 2025-11-05
