When I did communications for FoC I can remember sitting in meetings and Bobbie Gaunt ranting about the need for a good "A" car in Canada and she pushed Nasser and even Trotman real hard to make one available for the Canadian market ... that was 10 years ago.
The problem: the Canadian market simply wasn't / isn't big enough by itself for Ford to sell small cars profitably and the Americans had no interest ... hell, Ford of Canada had to beg and cajole Detroit to also offer the Focus hatch ... they were originally going to go with just the sedan and wagon.
So if there's a silver lining to the escalating cost of oil it will be the increased availability of good small cars in NA.
