You're welcome - I should also add that the reason Ford Canada has made this an annual thing, is that from a marketing POV they have been able to disquise the true nature of the incentive which is in fact end of model year discounts which in the past have typically been quite large - and given in the way of a hidden dealer incentive that the company trusted the dealer to pass on to the consumer.
What this means to you is that whatever discount you might have been able to negotiate off any particular vehicle, prior to the Employee Pricing event, should still be available in addition to the Employee price discount.
The reason Ford and especially its dealers really like this event is that most consumers are lulled into the idea that it can't get any better than Employee price, and don't negotiate further - depending on the vehicle, that could be a costly miss.

I kind of figured as much, but I wanted to confirm it and extinguish that little bit of hope for good.
