Up to 500 steelworkers are facing layoffs as Stelco idles operations in Hamilton.
Doug Ford’s government knew this was coming, just as they did with Crown Royal and Algoma Steel. But they won’t say when they knew, what they did to prevent the job losses, or how much support has actually gone out the door.
They announced a $5-billion Protect Ontario Financing Program, cut it to $1 billion, and then made it virtually impossible to access.
If the government knows layoffs are coming but can’t show what it’s doing to protect those jobs, Ontarians deserve to ask: What is this program actually protecting?

My daughter got the flu. I took her to the Dr. first thing they wanted to do was a Covid test and vaccine. I said absolutely not. They leave the room and come back about 10 minutes later saying well just so you know we’ve diagnosed 7 cases of Covid this week alone. I really think you should get her tested and vaccinated. I said NO!!! Now they’re finally giving her antibiotics. We aren’t doing this bs again. Anyone that falls for this stupid shit is a complete moron at this point. How come Covid only shows up around election time? Idiots!!!
@RichardCityNews The government at the federal and provincial level should’ve got us a free trade agreement not bailing out companies with tax payers dollars. The government needs to get out of the way.
Things are not looking good for Canada's steel industry.
Algoma Steel 1,000 layoff notices issued December 2025, took effect March 2026. Earlier 2025 cuts added another ~200. Total impact around 1,200–1,300 jobs.
Stelco Up to 500 employees affected; the union puts the number of steelworkers being laid off at about 350. Operations start winding down October 9, 2026.
ArcelorMittal Long Products Wire-drawing mill closed June 2025 — 153 jobs.
Thank a Liberal or @MarkJCarney
‼️Blacklocks today: Bankruptcy filings show Tim Hortons franchises are blaming reduced access to foreign workers for their BANKRUPTCIES!
up to 80% of some stores payroll are foreign workers.
They made an entire industry out of stealing teenager's jobs for a path to citizenship .... and the liberals cheer on the "diversity"
@fordnation Doug you’ve done nothing to help the people of Ontario. You will never get my vote again you’re a liberal not a conservative and now the people of Ontario are paying the ultimate price.
@CanadaGoose911 Trump loves to troll people, especially the liberals and you guys just eat it up. I thought your prime minister Carney was the best person to deal with a free trade agreement. How’s that going for you guys? Elbows up.!!
@JohnPaulDanko@PierrePoilievre Why is it that every time Canada has a problem we blame the conservatives. The liberals are in power. They’re the ones to blame.
Mark Carney is the first Prime Minister in Canadian history whose poll numbers go up the worse our economy gets.
TDS has absolutely wrecked this country.
