Premier Doug Ford says Ontario will spend more money to save Windsor’s planned Stellantis electric vehicle (EV) battery plant.
Ford said Friday morning his government will sweeten the deal for the automaker on the NextStar plant, which would employ 2,500 people.
“I will confirm we’re putting more money on the table. This is all about saving jobs and giving people the quality of life they deserve in southwestern Ontario.
“Down in Windsor, before we came into office, you could shoot a cannon down the street in the middle of downtown and you wouldn’t hit anyone. This is going to be an opportunity for people to get great-paying jobs.
