Here is my statement following my meeting with Stellantis:
Joly declared Stellantis in default of a 2022 agreement worth up to $529 million for retooling Brampton and Windsor plants, giving the company 30 days to commit a vehicle to Brampton production or repay the funds plus interest. Lobby records reveal multiple meetings between Joly's office, Prime Minister Mark Carney's aide, and both Stellantis and buyer Roshel in the months before the sale announcement. Carney called the deal a partial solution and a betrayal of workers, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused the government of a tangled web; Joly and Ontario officials plan talks with Stellantis's global CEO soon as pressure mounts for production or repayment.

Oh, what a tangled web he weaves, when first he practises to deceive! Carney said the Stellantis sale was a betrayal of workers. Then we find out his own government officials attended the high-level meetings where the betrayal happened. He betrayed the workers, the taxpayers,…

Instead of spending all his time trying to get a better deal with China or convincing Stellantis to stay, why didn't Mark Carney try and get a better deal with the USA which would have helped Stellantis stay viable in Brampton? I say it was politics.
