Gm changed a lot in 5-6 years if they were building 80% of parts in 1980.
From 84-89 I was hauling automotive parts for suppliers to assembly plants, JIT delivery. I remember reading in a trade mag at one of the plants around 85-87 that 35% of parts in all GM automobiles where US made.
37% of Chrysler parts where US
45% of Ford was US made
At that time 52% of all Toyota auto's where built with US made parts.
Where corporate profits go doesn't mean anything to me much because I don't get any of that, but it appears to me that Toyota,Honda, ect. have reinvested more of their profits back into more plants built in the US by US construction workers, maned by US assembly line workers and supported by US located sub-assembly mfg's, delivered to those plants by US transportation.
US branded companies are building plants in other countries by construction workers from that country and operated by workers from that country and so on.
The bottom line is more US jobs are created and supported by companies that build or retain plants in the US, no matter where those corporate headquarters are located.
As for cars built in Canada, that's been going on almost since to automobile was invented.
