I figured he would have to be one ballsy guy to go park in a Canadian plant parking lot though. I get nervous enough when I have to go the Windsor Chrysler plant since they make me park in the employee lot with all the Challengers, Dakotas and Minivans (many of which are old and falling apart by the way).

That's true in Cambridge as well. I mean, Denso is right across the road from them there, but I believe that Denso plant does suspension and nothing else. (totally misread that first part) But, Cambridge does have many, many jobs because of Toyota and their suppliers.
However, my dad says that with the Corolla plant in Louisiana and the newest one in Mexico, he's not sure what's going to happen to his job. They make the Corolla (and used to do the Matrix) and the Rx3XX there. Sounds like they might get the "K" modular platform, which supports the Camry, Corolla, Highlander and a few others, so it's not all bad news.
