What the fuck are you talking about ? <| sep |> Which countries ? The cars and trucks produced in Ontario mostly go to personal vehicle use . I definitely do not overstate their economic value . The auto industry in Ontario accounts for nearly one third of Ontario ' s international exports . Auto industry jobs working for the manufacturers alone total over 100 , 000 . Those 100 , 000 workers earned over $ 6 billion . The parts manufacturerssuppliers to the major auto assemblers an additional 300 , 000 jobs . So get rid of personal cars , kill the auto industry , and put about the population of Hamilton out of work . That ' s not even factoring in the people who would be out of work in associated industries car maintenancerepair , car sales , fuel production and distribution . And that ' s not factoring in the people who have jobs because all of the above people have income to spend . Public transit may offer greater value but it doesn ' t offer greater economic benefit .
