This is OTT but here goes: I have been researching for many years now the very early history of GM vehicles in Canada pre-GM of Canada [1918]. I have researched and written a draft of the Walkerville/Windsor plants and the Regina one. That one on Regina is extremely fascinating and I suppose even now I feel so sad for the way that the prospect of jobs in a rural economy came with great publicity, faded, rose again, faded, rose again and then disappeared for good.
I couldn't agree with you more. To survive the ups and downs through the wars and the great depression only to fall for good. It must have been devestating for that region. What is happening to the auto industry now is almost a coming of "full circle" I suppose. That is why we should never forget the past...
