My understanding is that it will be built in Canada but the engineering is taking place down under.

The best information I hear is Oshawa or Wilmington. Oshawa seems likely.

Very likely Oshawa, as already stated, though I would like to see it made in the US.

Oshawa is definitely the leading contender right now, but it hasn't been formally announced. I would expect to hear an announcement in the next couple of weeks.

There's supposed to be a plant announcement early next week.

My bet is still on Oshawa.

Considering what's been going on at Oshawa, that's a pretty safe bet.

Yup, old news actually. But a good read.

All signs now certainly point to Oshawa.
