I am the youngest possible "boomer" so I do remember when GM had a majority, that's correct, a majority (as in more than 50%) market share in Canada. That's history.
I sold Chev Olds when I was 23, first job selling cars in '87. At that point they had lost market share to the extent that none of my relatives or friends were interested in them.
Compare MR2 and Supra, RX7 Turbo, 300ZX Turbo to Iroc Z/Trans AM. The end of an era.

America is all about their trucks, and protects that product with high import taxes on trucks compared to cars, or GM would have lost even more ground to competitors, so I feel like them saying they will dominate is just a publicity stunt. They still have decent market share, but no where near 50%, gawsh times change.
