A Look Back at GM’s History in Canada

GM Canada is transitioning from traditional car production to electric and autonomous vehicles, ending a long history that began with the McLaughlin Carriageworks in 1867. The company played a significant role during WWII and prospered post-war, but globalization and the 2008 financial crisis led to a decline in the Oshawa plant's competitiveness. Although the plant will cease production, some employees will be rehired for testing and parts manufacturing, marking a new chapter in GM Canada's history.
