flag GM shut down BrightDrop van production in Ontario, ending jobs and leaving workers uncertain.

flag In October 2025, General Motors permanently halted production of the BrightDrop electric delivery van at its Cami Assembly plant in Ingersoll, Ontario, idling the facility retooled at a $1 billion cost. flag The shutdown, driven by weak market demand and regulatory hurdles, left about 1,100 workers unemployed, including Rachel Knapp, a 29-year-old mother who lost her father and job within months. flag Workers face uncertainty as GM has not announced a new vehicle for the site, though it says it remains committed to the plant. flag Many, like Knapp and fellow worker John Tuffin, are dealing with emotional stress and weighing whether to stay or seek new opportunities amid ongoing trade tensions and policy instability in the auto sector.
