The big automotive news out of the States is that George W. Bush was caught campaigning in Ohio aboard a bus made in Canada.
Ohio is an industrial state where industry is suffering, and the bus, built by Prevost in Sainte-Claire, Que., tricked up in Republican colours and emblazoned with the slogan ``Yes, America can,'' was viewed by anti-Bushies as politically incorrect in the truest sense of "politically.''
My Canadian pride was tempered when I found out Prevost is jointly owned by Sweden's Volvo and Britain's Henly's Group. On the other hand, it changed my opinion about outsourcing.
If Britain and Sweden want to consider us a third-world country, we should go for it. Maybe we can get Nike to let us stitch running shoes. Maybe India will open call centres here to handle the overflow.
