They have been doing this ever since I can remember. I recall that they allegedly tried to convince the shopper that it is '50%' or '80%' off. A few times I think it was '90% off'. Kudos to Quebec for having the courage to investigate and prosecute. I don't think it will change much, however. Once, I had a clerk tell me 'Don't buy it now, tomorrow it will be 50% off'. He showed me the schedule of 'price reductions' for it for the next 12 months. If I waited eight weeks, it would be 75% off.

I believe they DID execute Louis Riel.

Then apologized for it (said 'sorry') about 150 years later.

Toyota and Honda represented 76.5% of Canada’s vehicle production (1,226,099) in 2025 and each of Toyota and Honda produced more vehicles in Canada than Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis combined. GAC members had a 60.5% market share of all light-duty vehicles sold in Canada in 2025.

So pretty soon it will be an East Asian/Japanese car of some make and model made in Canada. The Chinese might just as well join the fray. Those lamenting the demise of Canadian jobs on assembly lines of American cars are several decades too late. The Canadian jobs are now predominantly on non-American model production lines anyway.

They will still be operating under Canadian labor laws.
