The federal government had been made aware for months about the possibility that Stellantis would sell its Brampton, Ont., assembly plant to a light armoured vehicle manufacturer, a source has told CBC News.
The automaker announced on Monday that it plans to sell the plant to Roshel Inc., a move Prime Minister Mark Carney characterized as a “betrayal of the workers as it is a betrayal of the obligations to Canada.”
Carney is like some sort of Superman!
🇺🇸🇨🇦 CANADA’S INDUSTRIAL COLLAPSE under @MarkJCarney
— Updated with new receipts 🧾
📍 Honda Alliston, ON → $15B EV/battery plan INDEFINITELY SUSPENDED; now $867M retool (govt-backed) for hybrids/gas only, keeping ~4,000 existing jobs
📍 Stellantis Brampton, ON → SOLD to defence firm Roshel (undisclosed price, closes end-2026). Jeep Compass already moved to Illinois; >3,000 auto jobs gone. Unifor calls it betrayal. Ottawa took hundreds of millions in support tied to keeping production here — clawbacks still empty theatre.
📍 Stellantis Windsor battery → stake sold for ~$100; NextStar continues under LG
📍 Stellantis Windsor Assembly → repeated idles
📍 GM CAMI Ingersoll, ON → CLOSED (BrightDrop ended)
📍 Ford Oakville, ON → EV plan dropped; retooled for Super Duty
📍 Northvolt Quebec → BANKRUPT
📍 Umicore Loyalist, ON → SUSPENDED
📍 Stelco Hamilton/Nanticoke, ON → up to ~500 layoffs proceeding despite Investment Canada Act commitments and Joly’s ultimatums/legal threats
📍 Algoma Sault Ste. Marie, ON → integrated steelmaking ending, >1,000 layoffs
📍 ArcelorMittal Hamilton, ON → wire mill closed
📍 PowerCo St. Thomas, ON → delayed to 2029Pierre Poilievre is now demanding Carney fire Industry Minister Mélanie Joly over the recent Stellantis and Stelco failures.
Ottawa’s response remains the same: press releases, photo ops, threats, then more layoffs and plant sales.
This is managed decline with a price tag.
