This episode of Making it in Ontario features hot off the press numbers from Trillium’s newly released Auto Trade Data Bulletin. Hosts Brendan Sweeney and Michelle Samson discuss where Canadian-made cars are sold, the sources of cars bought in Canada, and the cross-border movement of automotive parts. With hard facts, they directly address a persistent claim (or is it a myth?) about the number of times automotive parts cross the border.
