Economy
Will our main streets and local jobs thrive?
This candidate has spoken about this issue more than once. Each statement is shown with its own source.
Brown commits to keep fighting to protect Brampton autoworker jobs and keep auto assembly in the city.
- In a release marking the Unifor Local 1285 endorsement (union representing Brampton Assembly Plant workers), Brown reaffirmed his commitment to Brampton's autoworkers and their families.
- Pledged to keep standing with them in the fight to protect their jobs and keep auto assembly in Brampton.
- Caveat: release dated Oct 20, 2026 with no time of day; morning run's newsroom check showed Oct 16 as latest, so it appeared during Oct 20 — in-window placement after 17:00 EDT cannot be confirmed.
“Brampton's autoworkers have helped build Canada's auto industry, and they deserve a future they can count on. I'm grateful to Vito Beato and the members of Local 1285 for their trust and support. I will continue standing with them in the fight to protect their jobs and keep auto assembly in Brampton.”
