When I put the news articles together below, I can see  team :Saic motor and GM manufacturing in USA and Ontario.

I've looked at some of the cars and they are pretty impressive. 

That would would keep Trump happy in the USA. 

But, in Canada, with the higher labour costs than the USA, perhaps Doug Ford can do a deal with Quebec for cheaper HYDRO to help offset the higher labour rates.

Cheap hydro would be good for Mushkegowuk FN and the future  30 megawatt concentrator at Noront's future mine.

Also, notice the Baosteel and Saic connection?

President Donald Trump on Monday tore into General Motors for its newly announced plan to halt production at multiple plants in the U.S. and Canada, telling reporters that he warned GM CEO Mary Barra that her company was "playing around with the wrong person."

GM's plan to cease operations at plants in Ohio, Michigan, Maryland and Ontario by next year — and to cut back production at two other plants, as well — will cost up to $3.8 billion and shrink the Detroit-based carmaker by more than 14,000 jobs, or about 15 percent of its salaried staff.

Trump told The Wall Street Journal in an interview Monday that he spoke with Barra on Sunday night to discuss the downsizing plan. He told her that GM should stop making cars in China and open a new plant in Ohio to replace the ones being closed.

"They better damn well open a new plant there very quickly," Trump told the Journal. "I love Ohio," Trump said. "I told them, 'you're playing around with the wrong person,'" he added, according to the newspaper.

Trump continued: "I said, 'I heard you're closing your plant,'" he recalled from his conversation with Barra. "'It's not going to be closed for long, I hope, Mary, because if it is you have a problem.'"

The Journal's interview was published shortly after Trump told journalists outside the White House that he wasn't happy with GM's plan. He also noted that the Chevrolet Cruze was not selling well and urged the company to put something else in its place.

Baosteel and SAIC Join Hands to Develop Lightweight Technology For Automotive Steel[ 2010-09-20 ]

On September 20, Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (hereinafter as Baosteel Co., Ltd.) signed "Framework Agreement for Strategic Cooperation on Lightweight of Automotive Steel" with SAIC Motor Corporation, Ltd. ("SAIC Motor" for short), announcing that both parties will further deepen the strategic cooperation and jointly research and apply the lightweight technologies for automotive steel. Vice mayor of Shanghai Ai Baojun, president of Baosteel Group Corporation and chairman of Baosteel Co., Ltd. He Wenbo, chairman of SAIC Group and SAIC Motor Hu Maoyuan and president of SAIC Motor Chen Hong, etc. attended the signing ceremony. In the ceremony, Vice mayor of Shanghai Ai Baojun, president of Baosteel Group Corporation He Wenbo, and chairman of SAIC Group Hu Maoyuan unveiled the "SAIC-Baosteel" Automotive Steel Joint Lab.

Automobile lightweight refers to reducing the weight of the products through structural design and the integrated application of various material and manufacture technologies under the condition of cost control and performance improvement. It is a systematic project involving automobile design, material and manufacture technologies. Lightweight has been proved to be the crucial technological route for automobiles to save energy and reduce emission. Every 10% reduced in the deadweight of automobiles can lower fuel consumption by 6~8% and reduce CO2 emission by 13%. The new energy automobiles have more urgent requirements for automobile lightweight due to the weight added by the battery. As Chinese economy registers continuous rapid growth, China has become the largest producer and consumer of automobiles in the world, and lightweight has become an important task for Chinese automobile industry to achieve sustainable development, requiring the cooperative solution of the related enterprises in automobile and steel industries and the scientific research institutions.

This time Baosteel Co., Ltd. and SAIC Motor will join hands to utilize SAIC's entire car development platform and Baosteel Co., Ltd.'s R&D and production platform of high strength steel for automobile lightweight to promote the lightweight design and application of SAIC's new generation products through the comprehensive application of design, material and manufacture technologies, and enhance Baosteel Co., Ltd.'s automobile lightweight material R&D level and the application capability of solutions, so as to realize win-win and common development.

As the leading automaker in China, SAIC commits itself to continuously enhancing the independent development capability and energetically promoting the commercialization of new energy cars, and has listed automobile lightweight technologies as one of the important approach in "12th 5-year" automobile technology development. As the owner of No.1 brand automotive sheet in China, Baosteel Co., Ltd. commits itself to becoming the best partner of leading automakers. It has achieved leadership in high strength steel sheets and advanced manufacture technologies through the long-term development of automobile lightweight steel and its application technologies, and has possessed the capability of synergetic design and development with the automakers. The signing this time symbolizes the cooperation between two Global 500 enterprises in Chinese manufacturing industry, which will play an active demonstration effect to speed up the development and application of new steel grade series of Chinese automotive high strength steel and support the development of automobile lightweight technology.
