Prime Minister Stephen Harper will be in Windsor, Ont., on Wednesday to announce a financial aid package to help reopen Ford's mothballed Essex Engine Plants.
News reports also say a General Motors plant in St. Catharines, Ont., is in line for $80 million in federal money, and an announcement is expected soon.
About 900 people were thrown out of work last fall after the shutdown of the Ford plant, which produced V-6 engines.
Harper's aid package is expected to include tax credits to help Ford retool the plant to build engines that are more fuel efficient.

Not really. It's nice to see some of my tax money going to help some fellow Canadians even if it is through a criminal process orchestrated by the political elite. The fiendish beasts in power are there only by way of our apathy.

Not at all, the Conservatives are not transparent; they are a group of closet thugs, announcements mean nothing but DICK……………..
All Harper wants is his sleazy hands on a majority, and should that happen Canada will get the royal shaft with out a smile or Vaseline. Sorry for being blunt but reality dictates on how I feel, Harper will be a mistake in having full control of our country……

Spending announcements sway the same people who think they are 'saving' money at Wal_Mart. The brain dead media pawns.

Some would be a promise made by a guy who set election dates so a vote couldn't be manipulated for a time best suited to the party in power.... Gee ... where's his credibility?
