Windsor, Ontario

Jahn Engineering, a Windsor-based tool and die shop, has experienced a nearly 70% drop in sales following U.S. policy changes including tariff increases and EV subsidy withdrawals, forcing the company to conduct layoffs. The disruption stems from major automakers canceling or delaying vehicle orders, creating widespread uncertainty across the North American auto supply chain.

The Canada Border Services Agency is reducing its workforce by 348 employees and has sent notices of potential layoffs to 708 people, with cuts exclusively affecting national headquarters branches. The job cuts are in response to a 2% budget reduction of approximately $52 million and are part of the federal government's broader effort to reduce its workforce by 16,000 full-time equivalent positions over the next three years.

Stellantis laid off a small number of workers at its Windsor Assembly Plant in Ontario on Friday, August 15, 2025, with one worker estimating approximately 100 employees were affected. The layoffs are attributed to volume adjustments and a shift away from electric muscle car production, following the company's postponement of the 2026 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T model.
