    Stelco (a US company) is obviously trying to extort trade concessions in collaboration with the US government, it’s not even remotely subtle.

    Is the government sovereign, or are multinationals?

    (On second thought, maybe don’t answer that mr Carney)

      If the workers went on strike and shut down a plant like this the government would be passing the back to work legislation in days.

      If the corporation does it then crickets.
