Ontario officials confirm arrival of South Korean workers for new Stellantis plant

- Officials from the Ontario government have confirmed that a group of temporary workers from South Korea has recently arrived in Windsor to work at a new Stellantis electric vehicle battery manufacturing plant.
However, some Canadians are raising concerns that the use of taxpayer subsidies to employ foreign workers could disadvantage Canadians seeking employment opportunities in the auto industry.
"What's driving the concern is the $15 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies given to Stellantis," said Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre.
Global’s Colin D'Mello reports.

i dont think this federal government works for Canadians.
Why give any company 15 billion dollars?
Since disengaging from China the west needs a new manufacturing base. Instead of allying with new low cost countries and turning them into competitors Canada, australia and countries in Europe are bringing in cheap labor through mass immigration since the good Ole days of selling dirt and IP to China for easy money are over.
I am personally not a great fan of this strategy but the think tanks in the west think this is a good idea to keep western companies ahead so I just sit watch and cry from my arm chair while dealing with high rent and avoiding the subway
Whats the point of making a plant in a certain country if you just plan to bring in outsider to do all the jobs
They will hire UWindsor and other colleges Gujarati and Punjabi international students on low paying cash jobs
stay out of topics that are over your head
name checks out@@DrunkenGuitarGuy
Think of the photo op potential!
What surprised me is the one giving out the money don't know about the plan. 😅
So my taxes are going Koreans ??? Well I think it is time to visit those politicians …
Someone could take that as a threat......
@@user-ux4fi7ps1c Take it anyway you want. Did he hurt your feelings ?
good luck trying to talk to trudeau, he'll label you as a racist or a trucker
@@checory ....with trucker being the worst label of the two apparently. 😂
@@checoryat least if you are racist blackface would still want your vote.
Should never of given or wasted money on this project to begin with. These slimy politicians and CEO’s are crooks
One would think that if EV battery factories were profitable they wouldn't need a $15'000'000'000 subsidy to build one. Let's ask Ford how their EV sales are going...
it's basically a bribe to get them here....
Stop using logic, that doesn't work with Liberals.
@@RKim-iq9ldTech transfer money?! What about the $Bs and $Bs the Canadian government has spent subsidizing higher education for the last 50 years? Some investment that was! We should be selling tech to SK! Secondly, "greenhouse gases bad, radioactive nuclear waste good!". Go figure.
Exactly. Henry Ford only needed $28K...and he privately borrowed it from the bank! But today's Gov/Tech commie bloodsuckers feel fully entitled to steal $Bs from the public.
It's a tax break and not a subsidy I believe so you basically get something for almost nothing. If I were sk I would pull out of this project and just go to Mexico where I personally think this would work better. It's been a while since Canada has been a manufacturing country and I think the new canadians aren't ready for it
So used to printing money then handing it out as salaries and admiring their gdp per capita with no real industries other than digging and financing dirt behind those cdn dollars
That’s messed up
Remember when JT said this plant would be an investment in the people of Ontario? How many BILLIONS of tax payers money is going into this? its not fair
I thought all of those ‘green jobs’ were supposed to go to Canadians?
That's propaganda by liberals. And green jobs are green washing
Just another Liberal lie. 'Just Transition' lie hasn't been shilled by the Liberals in quite some time.
Trudeau was quiet, what happened??????
WTAF. This was NOT THE DEAL THAT WAS SOLD TO CANADIAN'S
AGREED!How can this possibly help Canadians?-us the taxpayers!How can this be justified?Literally giving jobs to foreigners rather than to our own citizens! I used to work at a steel plant where I was a member in the CAW and neither we nor our Union would have allowed this we would have had a a strike within days!That's what the Canadian employees should do too!What an absolute shame!
Who gave them work visas???
Exactly 👏
1600 people to setup that plant? Is that not the entire work force? This country is doomed its literally being seen as vulnerable and easy to exploit and now even friendly nations that are known for being honest workers are now taking advantage of us. The funniest part about this is they are temporary workers all that money is leaving the country back into Korea.
Don't worry, they may apply for citizenship and stay as permanent workers after setup. 😅
Disgusting! All work must stop immediately! Bring in our more than capable millwrights and then we’ll get back to work.
This is unfair and disappointing period.
1000's of jobs but not for you ~! LMAO got ya again did they
lol don't worry all the jobs would go to "new canadians" anyway
This is what happens when you pick winners and losers with subsidies.
The physical building is being built by Canadians. The Korean "tech and equipment" for battery manufacturing will need temporary Korean specialists to install, debug and train Canadian operators on it. Once this is complete, we will still need some minimal # of Korean specialists to maintain and update the Korean made battery production lines.
So smart 😂😂 get HUGE $$$ from Canada and get ppl from else for cheap
South Koreans are not cheap!
@@MrMannyhw Cheaper than us by quite a stretch. And certainly neither more efficient nor more knowledgeable in the area of modern industrial construction or MC Logic control. Worked with them, the Japanese, & Arabs & not 1 of those nations are as up to date as North American industrial engineers & trades.
@@d.r.tweedstweeddale9038 that I don’t know. Only experts like you would know. Should pull the funding and give to VW then.
@@MrMannyhwdo you know how valuable the Canadian dollar is in Korea. They could be paid minimum wage and still be very well off back home.
@@bradmcdowell9168 oh should we move to Korea?
Canada is a big corpratocracy.
kleptocracy and the taxpayers are the marks
Good luck to those workers trying to afford living in Canada.
Don't worry. They'll be very well paid...at OUR expense.
There’s no worry they’re sockboy will subsidize their rent and their food with our tax dollars go Canada go
Wow did our government put money in this too? That's what Canada is becoming. A country that outsource its people.
Trudeau got played like he always does, he was so desperate to do something EV in Ontario that he just threw them a blank check with no terms.
The only thing missing here is the list from India. He's got that soft spot for people from there. @@SpruceMoose-iv8un
What a joke
If this plant hire10,000 workers in future. Canadian/Ontarian have to subsidies $1,5000,000 for each work position for this plant.
$15,000,000,000 (15B)/10,000 workers=$1,500,000 per worker.
If hire 5,000 workers only. Canadian have to subsidies $30 million for each work position
Your not actually taxing people and giving them 15 bil. Mostly tax breaks so no plant or plant its not coming out of your pocket. They are doing a tech transfer. Costs u nothing they just don't pay a bunch of taxes. That's how you incentive companies to start up in your area. Remember amazom hq2? I remember toronto were jrking to get it. This is more real. Everyone was whining about loss of manufacturing. Well now u got it unless u piss them off and they pull out bc they don't want to deal with children
I can maybe understand the need for Korean workers since it is their equipment in the new plant, and maybe only they have the required skills and knowledge to build it, but it looks like everyone who went over the contract with a fine toothed comb is now suddenly shocked and surprised about imported labour, and what were supposed to be Canadian jobs suddenly going to foreigners, even if it is only for a limited time.
we will get all the secondary contractor jobs though.
Why is it Korean. We in Canada
@@TefZeeCuz they are the most skilled and brain workers in tge world. So many countries are calling South Koreans for huge projects such as nuclear plant, tall buildings, etc. Anf they are fast! I am sure they would build the factory two times faster than Canadian.
Anyone remember the past 15 years for example? Chrysler bailout didnt pay govt back. Windmill collosal failure
Korean as well as Japanese workers are super hard working, no question. I have been visiting factories of both countries a lot and I know. I can agree that IF these "workers" are about new equipment installation, running-in and training, and/or "maybe" a few lead hands (foremen). I don't expect government subsidised projects to use foreigner workers running the production lines.
Construction does NOT work like that! The special technicians ARE NOT hired by the client, which would be Stelantis! You have a third certified party company for commissioning ALL the equipment local or foreign.
You think it's the first plant to be put up in Ontario? You need foreign engineers/project. mangers and supervisors at most. You don't need a Korean guy to run cable or wire up a panel.wise up.
As many politicians won't say" My back door is always open" follow the money
This is absolutely disgusting . Our government is pathetic .
I thought it's still Government decision whether to give work visas and each visa is subject to IRCC review!!
This is such a slap in the face to Canadians..
CSA better inspect as well as tssa and asme.
Unreal !!
Canadians are unemployed their unemployment is Canada's concern not international citizens who will help make ties for the Federals
What a joke Stellantis is battries for cars that wont sell. GM's CEO gave an update and it is that they are shutting down all EV production because of no sales and lost money. Also warned other OEM's to stick with combustion engins. Ford has just announced they are also cutting production
ford didn't know which means he did.....
All this electric crap is on Blackface. Put the blame where it belongs, on the Liberals.
We need more foreign workers.
Castro's son just isn't worth the cost.
This is unbelievable. Tax payers have to fund these jobs and our unemployment rate will remain high
If Canada bought an Arrow 3 missile defense system from Israel and Israelis were brought in to set the system up, would there be any backlash? Suppose Canada were to buy the Israeli Arrow 3 and INSIST that only Canadians are to work on the initial set-up. Good luck on the system working properly.
Canada is as CLUELESS when it comes to tech as Mexico. Canada needs to realize how far back they lag in technology and just be glad that the EV plant is in Canada, not Mexico. If Canada had cutting edge tech workers, why not build a domestically designed EV plant on its own? Why depend on South Koreans for their expertise when Canadians should be able to do a shoddy attempt on their own for double the cost?
The real question is this: how come in just a few generations, Canada imports tech from asia when it was the reverse not too long ago? South Koreans were farmers a few generations past and now they have some of the world's leading tech workers, while Canada still retains its farmer mentality. Why?
Canada should stop complaining about imported tech workers and create their own. Too bad that by the time they finish reading the manuals on how to do anything, it is already obsolete with the pace of information these days.
It is clear that Canada has been left behind as far as tech goes. Just admit defeat, accept the EV plant start-up workers, and stop being racist. Israelis setting up a missile defense system in Canada bringing in Israelis would not be "news", just common sense; but when asians are brought in to set up an EV plant, red flags are raised everywhere. Canada is so racist, they can't admit they NEED help from asians.
Canada should stop the entire project and make their own EV's from scratch using only Canadian tech and Canadian workers. Sell these Canadian EV's to South Korea. Fact is, nobody in South Korea would buy them, and even if they were given to South Koreans for free, they would melt them down for scrap metal and use that to build proper EV's for half the cost.
We have some morons in the comments and in the country who think that the South Korean workers are in Canada for their own benefit, like as if they need the money or some channel to immigration. Canada NEEDS the South Koreans to set up the EV plant PROPERLY and if it were not the case then why not build an all-Canadian EV plant with all-Canadian tech?
South Korean construction firms have countless contracts globally because they have the right expertise at a very competitive cost. How about Canada? How is their level of expertise and cost compared to their global competitors? How many Canadian firms have contracts, say, in the wealthy middle east? Why is South Korea beating Canada to a pulp when it comes to global manufacturing and engineering contracts? Why did Poland procure a $13.7 billion arms deal from South Korea and not Canada? Why is manufacturing so weak in Canada? Why does Canada depend on the US for arms and defense? Why can't Canada stand on its own two feet instead of being treated like some stumbling toddler on the global stage? It is because Canada is an immature weak proxy of the US that thinks that because of its vast geographical size and natural resources it should be respected globally. Canada is beyond arrogant and is filled with undisciplined racist moronic supremacists that can't build anything of value on their own.
Let me remind you that Canada's population is 40 million compared with 1.4 BILLION documented Chinese and 1.4 BILLION Indians. Canada should realize that it is a dwarf's dwarf, a mere statistical margin of error compared with major world powers. Canada is the colder version of Mexico with fewer people, burgers instead of tacos.
Canada spends more time on cannabis, beer, and hockey than on training their people for today's competitive global work environment. When the oilsands dry up, the forests are bare, and the mines empty, the Canadians will wake up from their drug-induced coma driving a horse and carriage while the rest of the world is using fusion powered flying cars.
Stop the racist nonsense and start making all-Canadian factories in Canada using only Canadian tech and Canadian workers using only Canadian-made Blackberries with Canadian politicans giving them an ego rub-down when they are on break. Who cares how unreliable and unprofitable all-Canadian manufacturing projects would be in Canada--we need to support our unqualified Canadian workers first!
Bunch of morons in the media spreading xeno-phobia too, eh?
We would just buy THAAD air defense system from USA if it came to ballistic missile air defense, more compatibility with USA. Israel is very conservative regarding it's sensitive tech, while USA is like candies for everybody.
THIS is the Canadian way ....... from the top down. ITS A BROKEN system.
Canada is not so far behind as you say.
Actually it is better off in Mexico. Then Canadian tax payers would not be getting fleeced. You would be better off just to hand the 2300 or how many employees involved a cheque for 1 million dollars each and call it a day.
What an essay
It's real simple. Don't buy there products and they go under
Kind of funny when politicians are asked, "Did you know that foreign workers would be coming into Canada to build the plant." Politician, "Well no". They just saw the fact that the plant would when built provide jobs making the EV batteries. Realistically the site preparation and building erection can be done with Canadian labour. The equipment to manufacture the batteries will probably come from South Korea. The installation of that equipment will require experienced personnel who will come from South Korea and other parts of the world. Project management is probably from South Korea.Employee training from South Korea. Its new technology so you need foreign expertise to get the plant built and operational.
Why is anyone even surprised this was going to happen? Are we Canadians really that naive? When you import a high tech sector, you have to import their engineers/workers. This was true post WWII when Japan and Korea had to import western engineers and workers.
Promises for job in a particular industry
I see it all the time from migrant greenhouse workers. Western Union is very busy on Thursdays and Fridays shipping money out of the country.
YEEEEEEEEEEEEESS! YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!! TAKE OUR RESOURCES!!!!!!!!! GIVE THEM TAX MONEY TO BUILD A PLANT!!!!! AND BRING IN THE FOREIGN WORKERS!!!!
Sk. Is an advanced high tech country (far more advanced than canada in manufacturing) that could have opened in Mexico but was wooed by Canada with incentives to transfer technology to Canada as part of contributing to the western alliance. The hundreds of millions potential revenue annually will help support the canadian currency, seed and expand future manufacturing in canada for high tech future like cars, flight vehicles, more advanced battery manufacturing r and d.
The sk expats who will start up the companies will be part of that technology transfer since there will not be equals here in canada ( sorry canadians they r coming from a much more advanced level of knowledge)
I am looking forward to Canada's manufacturing sector combining with our advanced ai software and recent surge in human capital from immigration, to move canada into the next stage of development. At potential future 50 million population we have a shot at competing with the great powers
They took our jobs!!!👷🏽♂️
😢😢😢
WOW WOW DOES THAT SURPRISE YOU………………….👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
If EVs were viable they wouldn't need taxpayer dollars.
So the CEO is Korean
Pollivierre is the only one watching these billion dollar handouts and making sure the taxpayer isn’t screwed again.
We need guarantees that these workers will only be here to set up and train. Then hiring will be done by Cdn workers once the training is complete.
Hahahahahahah I’m not surprised at all … taxpayers pay Korea scores
Thought this was misinformatuon?
Canadian Peoples
Gotta love the giving heart of canadian l o l
😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬
Nuts
There are 15 million Canadian families. The battery plant will cost 1000 dollars per family to pay for South Korean workers here. Not Canadian workers or immigrants who need these high paying jobs. More gross incompetence by Trudeau.
That's not how this works
If they pull out you get nothing and they lose nothing. These are tax breaks. The revenue from the plant is a net positive for Canada.
Shame on you canada 😠
😮😮
Laughs in Albertan
Lol nothing new
its very hard to find people here even in halifax to work on electronics because nobody likes those jobs , so there yes you have bring them from other countries thats only way !, because now day's picky Canadians are picky about wages , cheaper to hire people from other countries less picky about wages ! make only sense
it is premature to move on this at this time. when call centers used their CDN staff to fly overseas, to Train locals to become the new call centers, the CDNs were the first on site to train and be paid to work overseas.
as for 'what if some of the bodies sent are wives, or sex slaves'. that is to be confirmed // Koreans are Allies more than once and have never attacked the CDNs.
as for, if the Koreans become permanent workers, then they will become CDNs using visas, like most, and then they never leave windsor. wind -sore tell me all about how i never go back there not even to visit the Studio 4 (if it still stands).
due to Big D, across the water, the air stinks.
Wages paid include Taxes and they r withheld so the same Taxes would be Kept, at the wage rates, regardless of their country of origin.
// just try to Remember Koreans are allies fought in war with and against the communists' hoard and there by Just give them a little rope // God Bless the workers for they know profits never go into the GDP. and it is the GDP that is the economy.
Allies First then maybe the americans then the other nations CDNs have more fingers in my PIEs than most other Free Nations Native CDNs included
Sounds like the work of our supreme leader Justin Trudeau
lol, they should just employ these chat bots.... lol.
@@Aitch-102 their opinion matters more.
@@Aitch-102 chat bots should be given the right to vote.... or something.
To bad Ontario keep voting liberals
Wondering where the foreign workers will life ? Maybe in the homes that will be foreclosed on due to Ontario workers not being able to pay their mortgages
but the workers here doesnt want to work...
liberal backfire hahahahaha
Peace be with you ❤️
Who can escape the Judgment of the King of Kings, the LORD JESUS CHRIST
The sinners of Zion fear, and the ungodly tremble, saying, ‘ Who among us will dwell with the devouring fire, and who among us will dwell with burning forever? ’
But he who acts justly, who speaks honestly, who abhors extorted wealth, who shakes his hand to not accept a bribe, who stops his ears from listening to bloodshed, who closes his eyes not to see evil . Those who do
He will dwell on high; a solid rock will be his fortress; his food will be supplied; his waters will not fail.
Your eyes will see the king in his beauty, and your eyes will see the vast land." Isaiah 33:14-17.
We must all realize that the key to all sources lies in the Words of the LORD ALMIGHTY, the GOD of Israel, and we must live our lives by putting them into Practice.
Psalm 15. 148.
The Word of the Gospel gives wisdom, and the life of wisdom gives Eternal Life. 🌈👑🙏❤️🌾💎
What's so bad about foreign experts setting up an EV battery factory for us? The factory is jointly owned by Canadian and Korean companies anyway.
Don't know why officials are panicking.
People are panicking because it is yet another chance for Pierre to twist the fcts, lie to Canadians and whipTrudeau with it.
if the product they are producing is so good and there is a viable market for it why should taxpayers need to fund it
@@user-wz4op4zv7o The taxpayers ar not funding the product they are funding the establishment of high tech manufacturing in Canada both for the economy as well as for jobs. We payed a lot for this company but the supporting companies that will supply it are almost as large and they cost us nothing. My only wishis that we should own the land and buildings as assurance that they will stay in Canada.
Korean company puts at max 4 billion into cost of plant.
Canadian tax payers put at least 15 billion.
Not a fan of that, nor should you.
Cool... welcome to Canada!...😊😊😊
Its not a big problem.. we just need be instringent to visa/work permit.
We can ensure numbers with the aid of immigration.
Ensure numbers? How about ‘ensuring’ adequate housing numbers first, ffs…
We don’t need foreign labour in Canada.
Rofl😂 Hahahaha Good job stalantis!
There is only one way for real change and it ain’t by complaining on the internet or standing on the side of a road with a stupid sign. You want change you gotta show force and an ability to turn politicians world upside down.
I’d like to see Canadians go to South Korea and see if they can go to work you know what will happen
