#STELCO
Stelco which is owned by the US based Cleveland Cliffs Inc. refused money from the Canadian government to keep it opened and protect jobs.
Another tidbit of info, we know that this is a US based company in Canada and Trump was basically applauding the failure of this company thinking it was Canadian, due to the tariffs, he is a fucking idiot.
CBC leaves out important context:

Stelco is owned by U.S.-based Cleveland-Cliffs.

An American parent is restructuring its Canadian operations while citing American tariffs.

The Canadian job losses are real. So is that context.

🇨🇦🏭 CBC reports Stelco could affect up to 500 Hamilton workers as U.S. steel tariffs squeeze its market.

Cleveland-Cliffs bought Stelco in 2024 amid commitments around employment.

If U.S. policy is designed to pull production south, what should Canada’s steel strategy be?

Use Canadian steel. Nationalize Stelco.

Congratulations to the Cleveland Cliffs/ Stelco execs who bet on reducing capacity in Canada to expand in the U.S.

No one sold Canada out to foreign countries more than Conservatives:
Sold INCO to Brazil
Sold STELCO to USA
Sold Alberta Gas Nexen To China
Sold Wheatboard to Saudi Arabia
Lying thieves and con men, Harper Poilievre sold Canadian assets and resources. Never CPC
