Magna chairman Frank Stronach rolled quietly into town to promote his new electric car and to secure loans under the government’s automotive innovation fund.

Justin Trudeau takes a spin. When Trudeau’s aide Alex Lanthier saw the promo cars he quipped, “What? No red ones.” All the cars were blue.

    Prentice looking under the hood – take a look – it's so "photopy" looking.
