Stone Soup

The last truck rolled off the line today at the GM plant in Oshawa. I live about 15 minutes from Oshawa. When the closure was announced about a year ago, it had a big impact on the economy here--first thing, housing prices plummeted and the ripples were felt everywhere. Most people who live in Oshawa worked for GM. Workers finished their shift and filed out of the plant, the parade was like a funeral march. The last truck was won in a draw by a plant supervisor.
