Windsor-Essex is the heart of Canada 's automobile sector, just a bridge away from the US state of Michigan .

Some 24,000 people work directly in the automotive industry in the city, while 120,000 other jobs depend on the sector.

Ford first established its presence in Windsor in 1896 , while the first Stellantis (then Chrysler ) factory arrived in 1928 , with dozens of factories and suppliers springing up around the city.

Canada 's political parties are rolling out suites of plans on the campaign trail to help the auto sector.

Liberal leader Mark Carney imposed a reported C$ 35bn in counter auto tariffs, in addition to previously announced reciprocal measures on US .
