Man Bill, That really is a depressing announcement. Maybe Keith T. has some insight on this too. Where do they want to go, Mexico? I hate hearing this!

I feel real bad for you guys especially if Mexico is the destination! The US is good for us but bad for you. I hate to hear about ANYBODY loosing their jobs. Especially good working people.

THERE'S PROBABLY SOME TRUTH TO THIS RUMOUR BECAUSE THE HEAD OF THE AUTO WORKER'S UNION WAS ON T.V.HE'S IN A PANIC AND TRYING TO GET A MEETING WITH G.M.''RIGHT NOW!''.AND THE PREMIER OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO WAS ALSO INTERVIEWED AND HE DID NOT SAY NO TO THEM MOVNG.I KNOW THAT THE NEW CAMARO IS TO BE BUILT HERE BUT NOTHING IS GUARANTIED THESE DAYS.WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT THAT G.M. AND BANKRUPT WOULD BE IN THE SAME SENTENCE!
