Ontario Premier Doug Ford is urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to ensure Chinese-made EV kits are not assembled at the Stellantis Brampton plant, which was sold to defence manufacturer Roshel on November 9, 2026. In a letter obtained by CTV News, Ford warned of over 7,500 direct job losses in Brampton and wrote, "We cannot undermine the future of Canada and Ontario's automotive sector," while Unifor, opposing the sale, accused Stellantis of betraying workers, and sources say Stellantis plans to re-lease part of the plant to assemble affordable EVs.
