Alstom recently failed to land Ontario Line subway car contract, which was instead awarded to a consortium led by Hitachi Rail
In 2016, with Trump's rhetoric in the U.S. in mind, I attended a townhall meeting then-councillor Frank Pullia was having at the Italian Cultural Centre, I asked him, the new CAO Norm Gale, and the CEDC CEO Doug Murray, what the city had in the way of contingency plans for the loss of another major employer . I knew then the Bombardier plant had limited days left building passenger trains.
The response I received from these gentlemen, was underwhelming to say the least. I was asked what message it would send to these companies? My response? That as a city we are hell bent and determined to maintain good paying blue collar jobs in the jobs of the future and that we will do everything in our power to make that a reality.
The days of building trains at Canada Car are ending, but the plant has been here before and survived, what made the difference then and can make the difference now, is inspired political leadership.
