Section 3: made by Canadians “making” a car is a possible factor in determining a car’s ‘nationality’ 3.0 introduction

3.0T2 / main text
Does the label ‘Made in Canada’ single out the truly ‘Canadian’ car? Canada has long been a major player in the auto industry— it was the world’s second largest producer of cars in the 1920s and ’30s. Is a car Canadian because it is built in Canada, by Canadians, for Canadians, with Canadian materials? How important is all of this in measuring a car’s ‘Canadian-ness’?
Consider the history, and judge for yourself.
L’indication « fait au Canada » caractérise-t-elle véritablement une « voiture canadienne » ? Le Canada joue depuis longtemps un rôle principal dans l’industrie automobile – il était le deuxième constructeur automobile mondial dans les années 1920 et 1930. Un véhicule est-il canadien parce qu’il est construit au Canada, par et pour des Canadiens, et avec des matériaux canadiens ? En quoi tout cela joue-t-il dans la « canadienneté » d’un véhicule ?
Considérez les faits historiques, et jugez-en par vous-mêmes.

Si l’indication « fait au Canada » peut être une source de fierté pour les Canadiens, elle peut aussi revêtir bien des significations.

3.2.1 T1 Title Craft, Manufacturing, and Mass Production Métiers, fabrication et production en série
3.2.1 T2 text
In the early days of car-making, every vehicle was hand-crafted by individual craftsmen in small shops. As time passed, car companies employed tradesmen in ever-larger factories to increase production. Today, cars pour off of highly-mechanized assembly lines—a system pioneered by Henry Ford in 1908.
Does the method of production—the way that Canadians work— affect how ‘Made in Canada’ a car truly is?
Tout au début de la construction automobile, chaque véhicule était fabriqué à la main par des artisans dans de petits ateliers. Puis, au fil des ans, les compagnies ont employé des ouvriers qualifiés dans des usines de plus en plus grandes afin d’augmenter la production. Aujourd’hui, les voitures sortent de chaînes de montage hautement mécanisées – un système mis au point par Henry Ford en 1908.
En quoi la méthode de production – la façon de travailler des Canadiens – renforce-t-elle l’indication « fait au Canada » ?

3.2.2 T2 text
Canadians sometimes create their own car companies using funds borrowed in Canada. Canadians also use foreign investments to run companies in Canada. Some foreign companies come to Canada and start ‘Canadian’ divisions, while others simply build assembly plants.
Does the ‘who’ and the ‘how’ of a company’s ownership affect the ‘Canadian-ness’ of its cars?
Parfois, des Canadiens créent leurs propres entreprises automobiles à l’aide d’emprunts contractés au Canada. Aussi, certains Canadiens utilisent des investissements étrangers pour exploiter leurs entreprises au Canada. Certaines sociétés étrangères créent des filiales « canadiennes », alors que d’autres se limitent à implanter des usines de montage.
L’identité des propriétaires d’une entreprise et la provenance des capitaux influent-elles sur la « canadienneté » des voitures ?

La McLaughlin Buick, 1927 « Voiture de la visite royale »
3.3 T2 text
This car is an example of Canada’s finest craftsmanship. The McLaughlin Company of Oshawa, Ontario, was originally a 3.3A1 McLaughlin Buick Royal Tour Car carriage-maker. In 1907, Sam McLaughlin partnered with Artifact no. 1986.0157 American William Durant, head of Buick, to form the McLaughlin Buick Company. In 1918, it officially became GM Canada.
McLaughlin built this car to carry the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York on their 1927 Canadian tour. Prince Edward was so impressed that he ordered a McLaughlin Buick for his official limousine when he became king.
Cette voiture illustre le grand talent des travailleurs canadiens. À l’origine, la société McLaughlin d’Oshawa, en Ontario, fabriquait des véhicules hippomobiles. C’est en 1907 que Sam McLaughlin s’associe à l’Américain William Durant, alors à la tête de Buick, pour créer la société McLaughlin Buick. En 1918, celle-ci deviendra officiellement GM Canada.
McLaughlin a construit la « Voiture de la visite royale » pour assurer le transport du prince de Galles et du duc de York pendant leur séjour au Canada en 1927. Le prince Édouard a été si impressionné que, une fois couronné, il a commandé une McLaughlin Buick pour en faire sa limousine officielle.

La Bricklin SV-1, 1975
3.6 T2 text
Canadians remember the Bricklin with mixed emotions. In 1974, American Malcolm Bricklin used funding from New Brunswick’s government to set up two manufacturing plants—in Saint 3.6A1 Bricklin John and Minto, New Brunswick. Despite its unique design and Artifact no. 1975.0622 special features, the Bricklin was actually built with Ford and American Motors components.
Though it was assembled in Canada, the Bricklin was only sold in the United States. Bricklin Canada closed its doors in 1976, after manufacturing fewer than 3,000 cars.
C’est avec des sentiments mitigés que les Canadiens se rappellent la Bricklin. En 1974, l’Américain Malcolm Bricklin s’est servi des subsides du gouvernement du Nouveau-Brunswick pour installer ses deux usines – l’une à Saint John et l’autre à Minto, au Nouveau-Brunswick. Malgré son design spécial et ses caractéristiques originales, la Bricklin était en fait fabriquée avec des pièces provenant des sociétés Ford et American Motors.
Bien qu’assemblée au Canada, la Bricklin n’était vendue qu’aux États-Unis. Bricklin Canada a fermé ses portes en 1976, après avoir produit moins de 3000 voitures.

3.6a/v T2 / Caption 3.6A/AV1 “The Bricklin” is a comical folk song. It makes fun of Audio Malcolm Bricklin and the politicians who funded his car plant in New Brunswick. The “bricklin Song”
French (english)
3.6a/v T4 / transcripted text (lyrics) The Bricklin French Written and sung by: Charlie Russell
Now everybody’s griping ‘bout how times are getting tough, There’s shortages in oil and gas, and all that sorta stuff, The MPs want a raise in pay, the natives want their land, Pierre can’t walk on water, but he’s getting oil from sand.
Y’see I’m from New Brunswick, where folks are very poor, The Premier he’s our leader, though sometimes we’re not too sure, He convinced them up in Ottawa as to just how poor we are, Now I ‘spose they’re wondering ‘bout our million dollar car.
Chorus: Oh the Bricklin, Oh the Bricklin, It is just another Edsel wait and see, We’ll let the Yankees try it, and hope to God they’ll buy it, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Now there’s this fella Malcolm, he comes from the U.S.A., He was playin’ with his geometric instruments one day, His friends said what he drew was just a little bit absurd, They wondered why would anyone put wheels upon a bird?
He said I’ll go up to Canada, I’m sure they’ll buy my car, The Quebecers sent him down to us, that shows how smart they are, Now the Premier he’s not married, he’s a sporty kind of guy, So this flashy vehicle for sports caught Dickie in the eye.
Chorus
Now don’t get me wrong ‘cause this Bricklin thing could just turn out alright, But ‘till that time our Dickie will be just a bit uptight, He blames it on the Liberals, that Turnbull’s such a pest, What he can’t blame on Big Bad John, he blames that on the Press.
Big auto factories everywhere are shutting down, no sales, Investment in the Bricklin in New Brunswick still prevails, How much did you get Malcolm, please answer if your would, “Oh Ye of little faith believe, because my word is good.”
Chorus
Well the Rolls was called up yonder, And the Edsel was called up yonder, Will the Bricklin be called up yonder? Don’t let it be, dear Lord, don’t let it be. Don’t let it be, dear Lord, don’t let it be.

3.7 T2 text
The Volvo 740 GL was designed and developed in Sweden. In 1963, Volvo became the first automaker from outside of North America to set up an assembly plant on the continent. Volvo chose to open its plant in Canada because they believed their 3.7A1 Volvo Artifact no. 1999.0114 cars—solid, safe, and well-suited to winter driving conditions— would be strong sellers in the Canadian market.
Canadian workers assembled the cars, which arrived by ship in kit form. Few domestic parts were added. Volvo’s Canadian plant, located in Halifax, closed in 1998.
La Volvo 740 GL a été conçue et construite en Suède. En 1963, Volvo a été le premier constructeur automobile de l’extérieur de l’Amérique du Nord à ouvrir une usine de montage sur notre continent. Si ce constructeur a choisi de s’installer au Canada, c’est parce qu’il estimait que ses voitures – solides, sûres et bien adaptées aux conditions de conduite hivernale – se vendraient bien sur le marché canadien.
Les ouvriers canadiens assemblaient les voitures, qui arrivaient par bateau en pièces détachées, et y intégraient quelques pièces de fabrication canadienne. L’usine de Volvo, située à Halifax, a fermé ses portes en 1998.
