This rally is partisan Liberal party childish nonsense. Elbows up, give me a break. Dirty politics. It is also anti-American rhetoric while we live in border town. Disgraceful nonsense. The organizers are Liberal bloggers and the Mayor is once again using his authority to influence voters in a federal election. No one voted for Liberals when electing the Mayor, or maybe they did…Elbows down, heads up, eyes wide open, time to remove this Liberal compromised globalist cult and start working for Canadians instead of filling pockets of the criminal elites.Vote for change. Vote for your grandchildren’s futures. Vote for common sense and safe communities. Vote for freedom and prosperity. Vote for morality and The Supremacy of God and The Rule of Law.Vote for Pierre Poilievre.

Fake meat, killing ostriches, chemicals in food, forced vaccinations and other mandates. Eat z bugs and cloned beef, relish in climate change hysteria, euthanasia, crime, open immigration and lowest GDP per capita in the entire world. You can thank all elbows up fools who voted Liberal Party of Canada.

Canada’s only threat is its own Liberal Government of Canada and affiliations with globalist agendas sponsored by the World Economic Forum elites. Trade deals or partnerships with communism China, are certainly a concern, moving our country closer to socialism and a new world order.Having a consulate for 16 Canadians in Greenland is laughable. Allowing open immigration and drugs flowing across borders is despicable. Blaming US tariffs on 11 years of demise of Canada is a convenient deflection. The author of this article is nothing but a political echo chamber for the Liberal government.

Do not be fooled by this strategy to buy votes with funding big business with our tax dollars. Liberal party has abandoned Canadians for globalist agendas. They need to go. Terry, your time is up.

Dimitri Soudas does not represent Conservative views on Pierre Poilievre, anymore than Doug Ford who is a Liberal in disguise.

Put 2 and 2 together. The insider decisions, government lobbyists and billionaire influence, professing carbon neutral and green steel, promoting transition to EAF, billions$ in taxpayer funds, but filling pockets of the elites at Brookfield, Algoma Execs, and all those behind this strategic maneuver. But mass layoffs of workers in this city.

Reducing carbon intensity and reducing employment. He gets CEO of the year for acquiring government bailouts. EAF isn’t new technology, and power from the grid made by burning natural gas in turbines. Ponzi scheme.

Stephan Kinach is a good young man and his speaking up should not have resulted in any discipline, but he had requested the Integrity Commission oversight. The Integrity ruling was borderline and incorrect, but once administered, he had 2 choices, and chose not to apologize. The verbal reprimand is a slap on the wrist only. The message forward is for Stephan to keep challenging the norms, and financial decisions, and work on behalf of our community best interests, but do so professionally abiding by the code of conduct rules that were enacted in 2018. We need more challenge and less elbow rubbing and conformity. Taxpayer interests are the priority. Thank you Stephan.

For 60+ years, NA steel industry has been decimated by foreign steel, affecting USWA jobs, reducing American steel production from number 1 in the world to 5th. China, India, Japan, and others have undercut our supply, they employ low cost labour. We need a level playing field. In Canada, steel mills are owned by foreign countries, such as Cleveland Cliffs own Stelco, Arcelor Dofasco owned by India, and Algoma Steel by American investors. Evraz owned by Russia. Tenaris owned by Brazil. It is a national security threat to have reliance of steel by others. USS Corporation was about to sell to Nippon in Japan, until Trump intervened. There will be exemptions to tariffs in Canada. In the case of Algoma Steel, we make high-quality military plate for the US. Trump’s last term, he did not tariff Algoma. We need to stop fear mongering. 28% carbon tax crippling families over climate change hoax, while Trudeau whines about tariffs. Who is the biggest threat to Canadians? It’s our government.

Interesting development. Why the sudden interest and concern over loss of employment in the Sault?Why wasn’t this Liberal government employment plan not recognized and embedded into the taxpayer $500 million loan? It would appear that finally the Liberal government is feeling the effects of public pressure and taking some accountability rather than deflecting blame elsewhere. The carbon and climate hysteria has created job losses locally while enhancing big business owners who profit from green energy initiatives, such as Mark Carney’s investments in Brookfield. They are moving carbon footprint out of Algoma Steel and creating carbon emissions with natural gas fired turbines and manufacturing of DRI and HBI for the EAF, but at a different location. Not that carbon contributes to climate change or global warming, but Canada contributes less than 1.5% to world carbon emissions, and taxing businesses and Canadians for it is a Ponzi scheme.

Doug Ford continues to behave like a child. He claims to be Conservative, but during the Federal election he campaigned against Pierre Poilievre. I wonder why….He’s hiding from million$ in fraud and knew he was safe with the Liberals. He hand picked Chris Scott, (how’s that going) because he could not trust any locals in the Sault who might expose his corruption. Ford picks fights with the US President? He fights with Donald Trump as though he is empowered to create animosity with our neighbouring partner, pouring Crown Royal down the drain and running adds during the World Series to undermine trade talks. Yet, people still see this man as what? A fighter? A redneck elbows up red Conservative? Doug Ford clearly undermines professional integrity. He is truly an embarrassment to provincial leadership like many politicians. We as Canadians have the right to decide what brands of alcohol we wish to purchase. Not Doug Ford.

Sheehan, really?The Liberals caused this, along company execs and BoD’s who have been pocketing bonuses, and are still deflecting blame, and will never will admit it was a bad decision to run the Blast Furnace and Coke Ovens into the ground and fund green steel propaganda. The EAF is backed by billions$ of taxpayer’s dollars, only to cause mass layoffs in this facility affecting our community. They put all their eggs in one basket, now want to point fingers. Instead of PM Carney negotiating with the US, he spends his time running commercials with Doug Ford to undermine tariffs. The steel markets are very volatile in good times, but this loss of employment was well known as part of the transition toward melting scrap. It is a devastating reality for the employees who will be affected by loss of employment at Algoma, as well as all service providers, causing considerable strain on our community.

Carney and the Liberal strategy is to create a distraction and to pit America against Canadians and it’s not going to work. 10 years of crime, taxpayer funded illicit drugs, high costs, homelessness, censorship, lockdowns, funding wars and trans everything, allowing children to be exposed to sexual grooming, confiscating hunters guns, carbon taxing, worst GDP per capital in the world, government fraud, corruption and waste, working for the World Economic Forum unelected elites, and leaving our borders wide open to criminals, terrorist groups, drug and human trafficking cartels. We need a change for the good of our citizens and for the future of our generations. Politicians working for the people. We need to return to our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Supremacy of God and The Rule of Law.

It’s unbelievable how a company can lose $652 million in a quarter, attribute $90 million loss to tariffs but dismiss $450 million loss. Canadian taxpayers funding this. American bond holders and shareholders silent.Although wishing Mr. Garcia happy retirement, and promotions to Marwah and Moraca, where is the accountability from the same BOD who supported this transition of change. How are Harshaw and McQuade still in control over this failure?Everyone seems to be celebrating at the top of the company, promotions for the execs, during the financial imploding, while middle managers, front line personnel and union workers lose their jobs. Very unfortunate for the Sault and Algoma’s legacy.

Doug Ford is an embarrassment to the country. He has no decorum or intelligence. Trade negations should be held in a forum of professional, ethical and courteous discussion. Ford is the same Premiere who promoted the green belt corruption in the Niagara region which was never properly investigated.

For the life of me, I cannot understand anyone not liking this article or the preceding comment. It is a good news story of Jesus Christ our saviour and a be on of hope for people in our communities.

Stephan Kinach has integrity and is not part of a system of alignment to past practice and is not phased by peer pressure to conform. The call for his apology is unnecessary. He dares to disagree with the others and is singled out. It is not an ethics violation to speak the truth.

Our City Police do not need a shake up. Hugh Stevenson and team are doing a fine job. Bill C75 is our biggest problem. Merit and qualifications in hiring must remain as the focal point of recruitment. I reference what has occurred in California with termination 100+ firefighters who refused the Covid vaccinations, and hiring a Mayor and Fire Chief who have made DEI their first priority. California continues to burn to the ground and it’s not climate change.

There are many proposals. Please be open to listening to what we can do to improve life for Canadians.
