Government Involvement in the Auto Industry in Canada

Could it be said that there are vehicles which “Detroit”  or “Windsor Ontario”  should build ?   Or is it a situation where inexperienced bureaucrats like socialists at the helm with all their bureaucracies and inherent inefficiencies are in the business of telling experienced , accountable businesspeople what to do , enjoying their apparent power , while having no accountability at the end of the day ?

The story is told of a commercial building in Winnipeg burning down some time ago.   It seems that the “gas company”  had its employees enter the intact standing building,  inform the occupants of the commercial building that they were working in the area and that there was an apparent gas leak , and that it would be best to leave and vacate the premises and building.   Subsequently the building promptly blew up  and caught on fire.   When it was all said and done the building’s owners nor its commercial occupants were unable to collect and insurance claims against the gas utility , as because even though it was supposed to now be a private company accountable to all , it could hide behind the facade that it was a government corporation.  The point is that no matter what government and government bureaucracies in Canada maintain a culture where all that matters at the end of the day is the continuance of the organization , and the perks , privileges etc of its members.  Accountability and reaction to the market or its customers are  an anthema.  The biggest rules in these organizations is not to do anything in any manner that will bring attention to yourself and especially his boss and certainly not his or her superiors in the civil service.

And you want these people to run the auto industry ?  If you thought SUVs were out of touch with reality you are in for bigger debacles in store.  Ad infinitum .  It will be like Russia with a 10 year wait ( or more) for an automotive product that had to be taken apart by the consumer , when brand new,  and reassembled.  Government involvement in the private market and the automotive industry in Canada or the US is not a good idea by any means or part.
