"Each passing day increases the likelihood that Windsor, its workers, residents, and businesses will not receive the commitments made to them," Dilkens said in a statement Friday afternoon. "It is unacceptable for Windsor to be shortchanged or forced to accept a scaled-down version due to unfulfilled promises by the federal government," he said.
"I think this is at the 11th hour where a decision is around the corner, the project has been stopped now for 9,10 days," Goncalves said.7 days agoPremier Doug Ford said that the provincial government will put more money on the table in the Stellantis deal after Deputy Premier Chrystia Freeland called on Ontario to pay its fair share in the deal.
