Ontario Premier Doug Ford says it’s up to the federal government to finish off the Windsor, Ont., Stellantis electric vehicle battery plant deal.
"No matter if it's a new hospital or the two new schools or the bridge or we're building or the roads that we're building or the off ramps that we're building — there's no region in this province that has had more investment from this province and from our government."
"It creates economic development again. You've been down to Windsor before. If you want to talk about Stellantis, that town before we took office was hurting. It's no different than St. Thomas. They were struggling. They weren't paying their mortgages." Ford said Friday morning his government would pump more money toward the Stellantis for the NextStar plant — which would employ 2,500 people.The Liberal MP for Windsor-Tecumseh says his government is getting close to an agreement with Stellantis.
