Windsor’s reliance on auto has reached a tipping point. As Stellantis divests from the EV battery plant, we remain dangerously undiversified. With Canada’s highest unemployment rate & construction booms masking deeper cracks, is "doubling down" a viable strategy.

When you really consider "Trump Class" battleships, it actually makes a certain amount of sense: the concept is old, they're obsolete, and it's almost certainly going to cost way more than anticipated.
