“Canada will be its own best customer” ~ Mark Carney Here’s a notable list highlighting how absurd & out of touch that statement of his is. •Stelco Hamilton Steel Works, Ontario. Indefinitely idling cold-rolled and coated finishing operations starting October 9th Up to 500 employees affected • Algoma Steel — Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Laid off more than 1,000 workers. • Canada Metal Processing Group (Ivaco Rolling Mills, Sivaco, Infasco) – L’Orignal, Ont and Quebec plants. Affecting 140 Canadians (including 30+ permanent layoffs at Ivaco) • Novelis — Kingston, Ontario aluminum plant. Laid off 80 workers (roughly one-third of the site, including 70 hourly staff) • RYAM (Rayonier Advanced Materials) Témiscaming, Quebec pulp and paperboard mill. Temporary economic shutdown of most operations from 15 September 2026 • Carrier Forest Products — Big River, Saskatchewan sawmill. Indefinite production shutdown • South Shore Furniture — Plants in Sainte-Croix and Coaticook, Quebec. Ceased operations in spring 2026 after 86 years • Bestar Inc. — Lac-Mégantic and Sherbrooke, Quebec affecting 175 Canadians. • GoliathTech – Quebec will close and they had to open a factory in Ohio specifically to bypass U.S. tariffs. Carney needs to get back to the negotiating table or Canada’s industries and companies will continue to suffer and disappear.
