I noticed that the article describes the Ingersolls as being loyalists, but when you link to Thomas's article and then to his daughter Laura Secord/Ingersoll they are mentioned as not being loyalists. Are they or aren't they? Ozdaren 14:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that too. I think its best to remove reference until someone who knows can clear this up.--YGagarin 16:35, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

seems to me that Thomas Ingersoll was NOT a loyalist, but that his daughter, Laura, married into the Loyalists when she became a Secord. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vkns (talk • contribs) 12:21, 11 September 2007 (UTC)


 * This link to the Town of Ingersoll History from the Town itself describes Thomas as a Loyalist when it discusses the Coat of Arms: "The Red background is symbolic of the Towns association with the Empire Loyalists, led by Thomas Ingersoll, who came north after the American Revolution and settled in this area."

I would like to see a bit about the town's politics. Perhaps some information on the change from Ingersoll Police to OPP. You should also add some info on the town's drinking and drug problems (i.e. the excessive bar fights and increasing population of young people using hard drugs)> —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.139.180 (talk) 18:45, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree ... plus some discussion of the new bridge, and the years of background behind it. BMW  (drive)  11:37, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I completely disagree, Drug and Alcohol problems are known issues in every town and city, no matter the size. I also disagree that the bar fights should be noted... every bar has fights, it only gets worse if the bar gets bigger. This article is due for excessive cleanup, most of the sections were added by the looks of it, just to garnish some attention towards a specific program. The article isn't even divided into sections properly. (64.231.97.83 (talk) 22:09, 29 October 2008 (UTC))

Does this really?
I don't think Ingersoll is big enough or notable enough to warrant the auto-redirect. I think that Ingersoll should be moved to the disambiguation page. CrazyC83 (talk) 01:31, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Effect of Economic Slowdown
Can anyone contribute to information about the town's heavy reliance on auto industry and effects of economic slowdown? i.e. the recent month long complete shutdown of the C.A.M.I. plant. Anyone have any numbers on how many people from Ingersoll rely on the auto sector for employment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.184.111 (talk) 19:21, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, the town was just over 8500 population prior to the car plan being built. Obviously, the growth to over 11,000 has to be linked between the growth of Ingersoll as a bedroom community to London (and even Kitchener in some situations), and the car plant.  Therefore, fewer than 2500 are involved - since the car plant never staffed that many, and there are very few secondary related industries in town, the numbers are tough.

Discrepincy over CAMI ownership
Claiming that CAMI is owned 50% by a foreign company is misleading. It may seem like a simple nuance, but it is misleading nonetheless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Urbinsanity1 (talk • contribs) 16:01, 14 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Indeed - it's owned in part by Suzuki Canada, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Suzuki Japan. In this article, the requirement to even discuss the ownership is useless, as that information belongs on the source article. ( talk→   Bwilkins / BMW   ←track ) 16:48, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

McKee link is wrong.
The link to Tom Mckee sportscaster links to Tom Mckee US politician. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.243.7.244 (talk) 17:09, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
