I'm sure u won't read it. All corporate welfare is magic. Nobody really pays for it right CBC. Has anyone at the CBC ever studied economics?

I hope they are paying for everything. 40 million on profit last year. I think they could flip the bill themselves

Our premier....SO fat, he can't even cross his legs...acting like he procured this deal. fordnation 's OWN Daughter was part of protests that blocked oir borders and threatened TRADE Yeah, her name is Krista Ford 'folks'

Good work, Doug. You have done more for this province than the Liberals ever did

Thanks to JustinTrudeau FP_Champagne and the Federal Liberals for getting this industry back on track. fordnation cancelled EV rebates and tore out infrastructure in a fit of spite in 2018 costing us lots of $$$$$. NeverVoteConservative

CdnMediaFailed again

Justin Trudeau has come through again and again Doug Ford and his Conservatives are trying to take credit.

Ontario govt's first act re: electric vehicles growth in province ⬇️

And once again forgot to mention the federal governments leadership in getting the investment. fordnation

What is the cost to taxpayers why should all of Canada have to pay for jobs in Ontario

It's just lucky that the feds were able to smooth over the damage from Ford's convoy buddies' attempted coup. You giving Doug credit for this is just one more example of how CdnMediaFailed

today also added on the CBCListen app that the plant would not be done until 2027 which means fordnation would even be around.

How much did it cost the taxpayer?

Dougies eating our healthcare and education budget, look at that weight gain!

Great job by Doug Ford

Thank you Trudeau!

FACT CHECK:

FACT CHECK:

For as long as the global warming scam is still operable, the VW EV battery plant will undoubtedly see some success. ✔️

DaisyWai_ For goodness sake. This came because of the federal liberal party’s work not the provcon’s. Say thanks to PMJT nice and loudly.

Great news for Ontario, and the mining industry. Those visits and phone calls and putting the land package together to meet their requirements paid off big time.

Why do all the high paying car jobs go to Toronto,Windsor and St. Thomas? What's wrong with spreading the wealth around to other parts of the province like Eastern Ontario or even Northern Ontario ? Does Ford even know we exist

Funny what you “land” when you pay for it… but don’t ask how much - The Liberals won’t tell you… but you know transparency!

Is that the same govt that cancelled ev rebates? Hmmmm!

beer belly Doug....

Seems you left a little bit out cndpoli ColinButlerCBC

Environmental concerns must be addressed. Public consultation and input must be considered.

Volkswagen to build EV battery plant in Ontario | Globalnews.caVolkswagen has announced it plans to build an electric vehicle battery plant in St. Thomas, in southwestern Ontario. Like the plant they build in the late 80's and moved it to Mexico due to poor quality? Repeating the same thing over and expect different results Our efficiency and quality have been massively reduced since covid and mass migration Good luck VW What happens to the old batteries when they don’t work anymore? Why, tesla and BMW are moving to hydrogen..
