The "James" that told the story about Matchbox racing is Jim Donner, from Union MO.  His son owns a fabricating business that does a lot of work for my business.  He's been regaling us with those stories for YEARS... Quite entertaining!

Production wasn't really "moved" to Canada as they had been building them in Windsor all along, it's more a case of production was retained in Windsor when St. L. van was closed.  They are currently running well below capacity in Windsor too.  In any case, it seems like any city in (in North America) with an auto plant has people out of work right now either through layoffs or closures.  Not good.

Like usual, I've always agreed with Ghoste - - - since I was a newbie on this board three years ago.

HE'S RIGHT.....This is NOT good. In fact, when it comes to the topic of our economy and buying American.....we've always been in sync on the subject.
