No sooner had Jack Layton announced his auto strategy for saving Canadian jobs and investing all those tax breaks the Liberals and Conservatives are promising the corporations than it was lost in the newshype around the Harpers GST cut. Swamped was Jacks good news announcement. Swept away. But like the proverbial bottle with a message this morning his announcement takes on even more importance.
Ford has announced it is planning on following GM's lead and will be laying off 7,600 workers across North America, with its closing of five plants including one in Windsor Ontario and ironically one in Mexico. Ironic cause the plant is one set up thanks to NAFTA. When will the bleeding stop? When we have a Made In Canada Autoplan. Tax cuts don't cut it when your out of work.
