Blockade At US-Canada Border Could Paralyze Detroit Auto Industry "In Two Days" More than 48 hours into protesters blocking the Ambassador Bridge that connects Windsor, Ontario, with Detroit, there are new warnings the auto industry might come to a "screeching halt" this week.
"Basically, if there's a shutdown of transportation routes, the auto industry comes to a screeching halt in about two days," Robert Wildeboer, executive chairman of Martinrea International Inc., said Tuesday on BNN Bloomberg Television.
Martinrea is a major auto parts manufacturer based in Vaughan, Ontario. It manufactures engine blocks, transmissions, cases, housings, suspensions, chassis components, and body paneling for automotive companies in Detroit.
"We have 38 trucks cross at the Detroit border per day and 16 in Sarnia," Wildeboer said. Since protesters have shuttered the border crossing, it appears Martinrea's ability to cross into Detroit has become challenging. "A closure of the bridge would be catastrophic for the Canadian economy," Brian Kingston, president, and chief executive officer of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association, told Bloomberg. "It's responsible for approximately 25% of our goods trade, it is far and away the most important border crossing between Canada and the U.S."
