Ford Canada, Unifor reach tentative deal that includes $2B in EV contracts

[chuckChuck]

F U C K Chuck , I do,my newest 4WD tractor is 12 years old and my oldest one is 39 so don't tell me about old equipment.

I have a 50 hp tractor that is over 50 years old but it doesn't do my seeding anymore! LOL

Automation my friend. Robots are taking over! Haha Do you still use the same tractor from 30 years ago for your larger farm which requires less labour per acre?

So Chuck first you are bragging about the new contracts with Ford to build electric vehicles and all the Jobs it will create but now you say it will be done with robots! So which is it?!?!?!

You should save the world and be the first in line .....

Would go good with the imaginary solar panels

Both humans and Automation robots obviously! You can do better Hamloc!

Yup , I do and so do many others
We still use the original case 9270 to pull the Horsch 40 ft planter . It seeded about 3400 ac this year again . Just at added an Atom Jet hydraulic kit and good to go
We can cover the same ac per day with this unit as a 75 ft new million dollar drill with a 600 hp new tractor . 40Ft at 7.5 to 8 mph covers a lot of ground when only filling liquid phos twice a day for under 10 min

There are many other on here with similar situations.
Still want to be an ass and generalize 90% of the good hard working farmers on here ?

Doing P501 yesterday, planted at 2.2 lbs / ac running 55-60 . Not bad for using an old 1993 tractor ........

Good for you. I use lots of older equipment too. It’s easier to fix and lower cost. But that doesn’t mean many jobs in manufacturing aren’t being lost to automation! Ford has committed to lots of jobs in Ontario and will no doubt use lots of automation As well.

Yup they are , but do you get the picture ? Lol

The fact of the matter Chuck the article states that the number of people employed at the plant will go from 4250 to 3000. You were talking up new jobs building EV’s, well it looks to me like less jobs, the only thing I can conclude is that in your world a robot is an employee!!

[chuckChuck]

Hamloc if you and your like minded friends on Agrisilly had a been negotiating with your negative attitude towards new technology, we would have probably ended up with no jobs! LOL

Ford is investing significant amounts in Canada to build EVs for a growing market. And the Feds and Ontario apparently gave them some incentives to make it happen just like every other country and region is doing to get auto manufacturing jobs and all you do is complain?

The amount that Ontario and the Feds gave is a fraction of what Alberta gives away in low royalties and subsidies to the oil industry every year! Whaaat!

Many posters praise Trump for trying to bring investment and jobs back to the US but when Ford and Trudeau do it, all we hear is a lot BS!

How do you spell hypocrites? LMAO
