🇨🇦 Ford does theatre while Hamilton bleeds

Hamilton steel is already under 50 per cent U.S. tariffs, Stelco business is very slow, and 620 union jobs are staring at the wall while Doug Ford performs his tough-guy routine for cameras. Calling Trump a dictator and mouthing off changes exactly nothing when Ontario’s industrial base has spent years exposed, sold off, and managed by slogans. Even the article admits nobody is clear what the new tariff threat even means, but the pain is real enough for Hamilton, one of the hardest-hit communities, as reported.

This is what post-national management looks like: dependence on a foreign market, strategic assets like Stelco handed to Cleveland-Cliffs in 2024, and local leaders begging Ottawa and Queen’s Park for relief after the damage is done. Carney offers retaliatory tariffs and $7.5 billion in support, meaning taxpayers get the bill for elite failure once again. Hamilton built this country. Globalist trade dogma and Trudeau-era decay turned it into a hostage economy.
