What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Cleveland-Cliffs, the American owner of Stelco, announced layoffs of 300 to 350 workers at the Hamilton plant while amid the Canada-U.S. trade war. Avi Lewis called for the federal government to nationalize Stelco, arguing that Cleveland-Cliffs broke its commitment to maintain worker numbers after the 2024 acquisition. Mélanie Joly stated that she would pursue legal action against Cleveland-Cliffs, citing the Investment Canada Act.
