Tell us: What do you think of the GM plant closing in Oshawa?
As the news broke that General Motors Co. will halt production at its Oshawa plant and four other North American facilities, Canadians took to social media to voice their feelings about the potential cut of 3,000 jobs in the Durham region.
I feel sick to stomach about all of this, 16 years I've been here and my wife another 11 years and never seen anything like this! Hopefully cooler heads prevail! #GMOshawa
