WATCH: Trump to announce so-called 'Liberation Day' tariffs

He is a great leader who is doing what he was elected for and is fighting for American jobs. His tariffs will generate trilions of dollars for the US economy. Wish he was the leader of this country. This country need a Trump card.

Those are quite impressive medical stats however they are not substantiated and have very little or nothing to do with past steel production. The great Algoma steel is no longer great. They will nothing more than a mini mill with maybe eight hundred employees. The quality of the steel from EAF is no where near traditional methods. Quit the snow job.

Typical Algoma. Run to the government for a bailout when they can,t pay their bills. Don,t worry, they are well versed in the bankruptcy protection route from previous episodes. Maybe they should have put some money aside in better times when they handed out huge bonuses and profit sharing cheques.

Get rid of the head of purchasing first. Doesn,t have a clue what is going on in Algoma and by the way still working from home in Toronto.

Let us not forget that about eight years ago Algoma went into bankruptcy protection and all local contractors were stiffed for hundreds of thousands of dollars for outstanding work and labor costs owed to them. No government funding program was ever developed to compensate them for their losses. They were basically told that there would be no repayment from Algoma for their losses. Now they run to daddy for more money to keep them afloat after poor executive management decisions and expenditures and no diversification in the steel market. They get rewarded with a billion dollars. Typical. Give them some time and they will burn that money up too and maybe even give themselves a salary raise along the way.

All nice to know but where are you going to sell your steel once March/14 arrives. Time to start trimming the fat and prepare for the storm.

Northern Snow is owned by Nicholas Chiarot and Stefano Narducci. Both owners have decided to immediately refund any surcharge they have added due to excessive snow fall that has occurred this winter. Customer satisfaction is their main priority and they acknowledge the importance of that in this community. Thankyou for your patience and cooperation. Bruno Chiarot

More tax payers money gone to waste. If there is continual substantial quarterly losses, why keep a company operating. They talk about the second EAF furnace starting up shortly. With what money and with non existent steel orders this company is going nowhere but down.

They will need every penny of that money to keep them from entering into bankruptcy protection down the road.

If there is no relief from Trump come Friday they just simply will not make it. Sad day for this city.

A contract is a contract. They will have to pay up for another poor management decision. Fire the head of purchasing while your at it.

Another blow to a company that is run on a nickel and dime budget now. But it is all good because tax payers will always bail them out.

Seek more government funding for Port of Algoma for a company losing huge money daily. Really.

Did she bring cash to bail out a company losing almost a million a day .

If Algoma gets a property tax cut then I want one too. Now they just got bailed out 500 million and now they want more. Just take the money from the 5.6 million pay out they just made to the exiting CEO and put that up against the tax bill.

Very impressive political propaganda. Jobs at Algoma are already being chopped daily to find any way to cut expenses. There is very little steel market left now due to US tariff movement. From the early 1980,s when Algoma employed just under 12,000 employees to a company that will employ no more than 1200 going forward. Time to accept realty and quit living a pipe dream.

Once again Algoma runs to the federal government for a bailout. Will the government bail out small businesses too. Not likely. This time however I think they are in real trouble. Trump will not let up. They need to idle down to about thirty per cent of operating capacity and due the same with the workforce and management. It is going to be a real humbling experience. The cockiness is now gone and replaced with panic.

Yes I concur. Senior management to blame.
