  1. Yup they sure are, the project was almost set to go then it got canned of course suppliers are gonna be pissed off. We had tooling and machinery sitting at the plant and at Windsor engine, 2 billion program shitcanned so we know many suppliers got fucked.
  2. Maybe they will, I won’t be shocked at all if the plan changes again. Construction is full steam ahead and the stamping plant concrete pad is almost done being poured and soon the building skeleton will be going up. As of now IF nothing else changes the word is stamping will be 3 shifts and remainder of plant one shift with the possibility of body and paint to have 2 shifts. I heard the plant will be able to do both chassis cab and pick up super duty. We shall see any optimism I have is guarded at best.
  3. GM Oshawa is losing their 3rd shift later this year so there is some impact.
  4. I agree with you and that would’ve sounded much better than the way she put it.
  5. Interesting video. Honestly, it’s going to be interesting to see how trade will be after the smoke clears. It’s possible that some trading relationships will change because of all the recent tariff rubbish.
  6. You’re absolutely correct that there is a growing anti us government sentiment. I believe even as far as our products some people who usually drive one of the American brands will choose a different brand now. Travel is down from Canada I know that much. I won’t be driving across the border anytime soon just to get harassed, F THAT. So whether it be Canada or wherever, there’s certainly gonna be backlash. I know for one Canada never stole any jobs. Ford, GM and I’ll call them Chrysler have been in Canada for over 100 years. We have a tiny footprint here so what’s the big deal. Ford doesn’t even have a vehicle to ship to the US right now lol from Canada. Parts yes.
  7. I will keep my Trump comments to a minimum don’t want to ruffle feathers in here. Let’s hope in the end deals are reach that are fair for all.
  8. It’s too logical a plan it seems for FOMOCO. It’s a real shame if you ask me. I’m kind of hoping that they have something up their sleeves and some of what’s been suggested in regards to this topic actually comes to fruition.
  9. Thanks man, I’m hoping for the best and will just have to watch how this all unfolds. I drove by the plant the other day and they’re working away building the stamping plant and other work in the other buildings. They have thousands of Rangers, Broncos, F-150s packed up in the shipping yards. All I see is chaos going on, I hope Ford does have a creative plan to deal with this shit.
  10. This is why I stated I’m not saying much, your job is secure you don’t have anything to worry about. I get it, let’s see how it plays out I have every right to be nervous with all the changes that have taken place at my facility. All this tariff crap doesn’t help.
