He doesn't lead the 3M team.
There was a manufacturing defect. They are fixing it. Happens all the time everywhere. Jeezuz the automotive industry is a prime example of that with recalls.

New plates are actually very beautiful, you should be proud putting them on your vehicle.

I agree with you it's a stupid mistake but I blame his staff not him. I doubt he had anything to do with it other than wanting new plates. He should fire the staff that made the decisions.

Now why would his staff be to blame for an issue with the material used for the plates causing reflection issues? Are they manufacturing engineers?

As far as I know, his staff does not include experts in materials used for license plates. Most likely, they hired graphics designers to design the look, and then picked a design that they preferred. More based on the look, colours, graphics, etc.

It's a stretch to think his staff would be able to determine if the chosen design would have reflection issues. That would be up to design consultants working for 3M to know what colours & materials would have issues. Apparently they didn't know either and that's their product not Ford's staff.

Do you blame someone who buys a car and it gets recalled due to an issue discovered after the car was released?

LOL.
They look like political party ads.
Not surprised that you are so myopic that you consider them 'beautiful'.
Blind, as usual.

Don't be silly. Ontario plates have been blue many times through the years. Aren't our sports teams mostly using blue colours?

But it does warm my heart knowing that you'll be sporting the new plates whether you like them or not. Please think of me every time you look at them...pretty please?

I'm always entertained by people so blindly partisan that they defend the indefensible forever.
Its like you and class sizes, even Ford admits he fucked up on this one but here you are saying they are beautiful.

Even Ford's government knows raising class sizes is incredibly unpopular.
Secret government reports say public doesn’t like Ford’s education plans

Isn't there another thread for that...or do you get really confused when the sun goes down and randomly start posting comments across different threads?

Blockbuster? You really are out of touch, aren't you? Probably still watching vhs tapes, I expect.
Same paper that caught Ford's brother doing crack has caught him with a report he won't release saying what he is doing is incredibly unpopular.
Much like your ideas.

New Ford Nation Plates Coming March 16

https://www.680news.com/2020/02/28/ontario-new-licence-plates/

The Ontario government will stop distributing the newly redesigned licence plates after issues with their visibility came to light last week.

As of March 5, Service Ontario centres will only be issuing the previous used white-embossed plates, until the new ones are fixed.

In a statement, the province said a solution is now being implemented with the manufacturer 3M Canada to fix the licence plates. Manufacturing on the new enhanced ones are expected to begin in two weeks.........

.......... For Ontarians who have already had their licence plate replaced with the new blue-embossed one, they will be contacted by mail with instructions on how to replace their current plates with the new enhanced ones.

The government said they will be available starting on March 16. As of Feb. 26, 71,000 blue plates had been issued.

Sorry to disappoint you, but my old plates still look just fine, and they will for the foreseeable future.
I know, that breaks your heart.

Take a moment for yourself.

Hey, check the Ford propaganda picture in your article about Ford's plates.
They brag that they are 'more reflective'.
Whoops, looks like they thought it was a good idea.

So if someone on your team fucks up and makes a big mistake that had nothing to do with you. Should you be fired or should they?

Shhhhhh...if you listen closely you can hear your existing plates deteriorate.

But seriously, it will be a beautiful sight having these on your car as a reminder of how much you love Ford!
Drive proudly my friend, drive proudly!

Ford already said that he's making Ontario pay for his mistakes again.
Are you going to go around and try to convince drives to keep them?
