The Ford Motor Company of Canada has landed squarely on the right side of the news this Wednesday, October 1, 2014 by announcing it will add 1,000 jobs at its plant in Oakville to build the 2015 Ford Edge crossover SUV. Two days after the misbegotten plan to change the name of Maple Leaf Square to Ford Square, the Detroit automaker is putting it back together. Reporters made much of the confusion in the minds of people between Ford cars and the Ford brothers. But the real problem was that MLSE had begun to mess with stuff that is sacred to ordinary Torontonians. Now Ford just has to wait out the election to begin to reclaim its name in the public mind. Other companies have had far worse problems. How must they feel at Magnotta Winery (a perfectly respectable family business) with that wretched misfit Luke Magnotta in the news all the time. Please send him away forever
Phew! I was afraid the post was about the Ford brothers! :))
