Stellantis announced Tuesday it will invest $13 billion US over the next four years to expand its manufacturing capacity in the U.S. — a move that will take production of one model out of Ontario, raising concern about Canadian jobs.
The company, formerly known as Chrysler, says the Jeep Compass, previously slated to be made at the Brampton Assembly Plant, will move to the Belvidere Assembly Plant in Illinois.
Stellantis says its new investments will increase its U.S. vehicle production by 50 per cent and add more than 5,000 jobs.
But in Canada it means "auto jobs are being sacrificed on the Trump altar,” said Unifor National President Lana Payne in a statement.

"Stellantis cannot be allowed to renege on its commitments to Canadian workers, and governments cannot stand by while our jobs are shifted to the United States," said Payne, whose union represents thousands of auto workers at Stellantis, Ford and General Motors.
. . .
Stellantis's $13 billion investment in the U.S. comes as the Canadian auto industry faces both uncertainty and financial pressure due to tariffs imposed this year by U.S. President Donald Trump, who wants to see more domestic vehicle production.
Prime Minister Mark Carney called the decision a "direct consequence of current U.S. tariffs and potential future U.S. trade actions." . . .
