Here's a news story that was put out by one of Toronto's local news stations.
No government (CDN or AMERICAN) wants to see manufacturing fail. I still think the BIG EXECUTIVES of these companies should give up some of their multi-million dollar salaries to help the cause because EVERYONE has to do their part. Some of the big 3 are selling off their shares in other auto companies to raise money (i.e. GM selling off Suzuki, Ford selling off Mazda, etc.).
