    Strike could see 100,000 Canadians laid off: Hargrove - By GARY NORRIS, Canadian Press
    Tens of thousands of workers at General Motors of Canada and in the Canadian auto parts industry are being hit by the impact of the strike against GM in the United States, Canadian Auto Workers president Buzz Hargrove said yesterday.

    "It's not inconceivable that by the end of this week we could have anywhere between 80,000 and 100,000 people unemployed - mostly in Ontario, some in Quebec - as a result of the dispute," Hargrove said.

    The walkout by 73,000 United Auto Workers members, with the UAW saying talks are hung up on job security, originates in the automaker's effort to shift the pain of "unfair" imports onto workers, Hargrove said.
