Original Toronto Star caption: General Motors' van plant in Scarborough: Ontario now provides about 30 per cent of North America's light-truck production. A report produced by Ontario Treasury economists raises concerns that though GM has the money for major new-product investments, Canada will not get its fair share of high-growth, longer term products in fuel-efficient technology. Published in Toronto Star, 31 January 1981, page D8, with article ''Auto-industry jobs future isn't bright -- but the question is just how gloomy''.||General Motors' van plant, formerly located at Eglinton Avenue East and Lebovic Avenue, southeast corner, demolished in 1993 following its closing.
