Section 3: MADE BY CANADIANS “making” a car is a possible factor in determining a car’s ‘nationality’ 3.0 introduction 3.0T1 / SECTION TITLE Made by Canadians Fabrication canadienne 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.

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 » ? 3.2.1P3 OPT 1 / 3.2.1P1 / CRaft PRODUCTION 3.2.1P2 / ManufactuRING CURRENT factORY WORKERS Photocopy: Photocopy: Photocopy: High Res Recieved: High Res Recieved: High Res Recieved: 3.2.1P2 Tcap 3.2.1P2 Tcap View of the Durant Motors of Canada Ford of Canada, Windsor assembly line, 3.2.1P3 OPT 2 / plant—Toronto, Ontario, 1930 1955 CURRENT factORY WORKERS french french Pick One Tcred Tcred Library and Archives Canada, National Film Ford Motor Company of Canada Board of Canada, PA-800818 french french Photocopy: 3.2.1P4 / TOYOta factORY High Res Recieved: 3.2.1P4 Tcap 3.2.1P1 Tcap Aerial view of Toyota Motor Manufacturing Assembly line at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc.—Cambridge, Ontario Canada Inc.—Cambridge, Ontario french french Tcred Tcred Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada french french Photocopy: High Res Recieved: Canadian Car / MADE BY CANADIANS / Section 3.2.1 29 BASED ON IP V 6.2 / 2010 12 04 March 11, 2010 3.2.1 g1 / Bar Graph 3.2.1g1 Bar Graph 3.2.1G1 T1 Statistics How has the rising popularity of cars and changes in the re: Canadian employment car-making process affected employment in Canada’s auto in the auto industry industry? over time.

Entreprises appartenant à des Canadiens ? 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 ?
