Why did the Canadian cities in the region of the Rust Belt never suffer the same fate? Is any part of Canada rust belt?

I had an old Ford Pinto built in Canada, and now have a Honda CR-V built there.

There are seven auto plants scattered around Ontario. Oakville & Oshawa I believe are the largest. Oakville & Hamburg NY (a 2nd ring suburb of Buffalo) interchange Ford parts on a daily basis by rail.

Actually FCA’s Windsor Assembly plant is the largest in Canada!

Also, even though some consider Windsor to be part of Canada’s rust belt, which it was, Windsor now has a very strong economy, with unemployment rates hovering around 5%, a surging manufacturing sector, a very strong housing market with quickly rising home values, and a very healthy growth rate! Not so rusty anymore!
