Goodyear plant closure tied to Goodyear restructuring drive
The Etobicoke Goodyear plant faces closure after a bid battle led by European financier Sir James Goldsmith and a restructuring plan.

The piece ties insider trading and corporate raiding to the broader market surge and erosion of traditional profits.
