Canada auto sales mixed in August

TORONTO (Reuters) - General Motors Co's Canadian sales jumped 12 percent in August, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's sales edged up 0.4 percent, and Ford Motor Co sales fell, the companies said on Tuesday. The mixed performance came as new data showed the Canadian economy shrank in the second quarter, putting the country in recession as a plunge in oil prices cut investment. But growth picked up in June, underscoring expectations the recession will be short-lived. GM sold 24,653 cars and trucks
