Canada’s steel industry will be central to our competitiveness, security, and prosperity. Today we’re making big changes to support, reinforce, and transform the industry to meet the needs of tomorrow.

I hope it eliminates 2024 as the benchmark for quotas of dumped steel into Canada from South Korea, India amongst others. With all due respect, sir, we’re losing jobs & companies are closing because you haven’t banned steel from those nations altogether.

for a book written to outline the crises of our economic times, and not mention trickle down economics is a pretty good indicator of what he believes. what he chooses to call a crisis, and what he chooses not to mention is intentional and says more about his beliefs than what is written.

They're more affordable because their treatment and pay for worker and environmental regulations are in a crater, we can't compete with that UNLESS we want to pay our workers $5 an hour or just dump garbage in a hole in the ground. So, no, we have to protect our industry, environment, and workers.

Imagine how expensive those cars would be if they were built to Canadian manufacturing standards for emissions and with Canadian standards for workers' protections. They are cheap because they are built dirty and with exploited workers to undercut domestic production in other countries.

They are cheap because China government subsidizes cost.

In all the similar ways the Big Three and Tesla have been subsidized over the years. All China did was correctly pick EV's as the future of automobiles and subsidize those companies while the US is actively subsidizing and supporting ICE automobiles and their supporting tech. America was stupid.

But in China, the subsidized price is passed to the consumer. So the consumer pays thousands less. I don’t see subsidies in NA being passed on to consumers. They absorbed by the company.

Partly correct, the last time the Big Three got big subsidies they just bought back shares, benefitting remaining shareholders (aka company owners). The fact that North American consumers accepted getting suckered doesn't change that the company was subsidized.

Subsidising for your own market is one thing, subsidising in order to price out other markets is another thing entirely.

Most Chinese subsidies are sales subsidies to chinese consumers. The rest are the same kinds of subsidies we do too, basic r-d subs, guaranteed loans, etc. They just picked better tech, and they have far surpassed North American mfg technology by producing more and better engineers.

That would be sweet. I think if we look to Australia and Mexico where these companies have good penetration, we'll get a vague idea of what they'd cost here pre-tax, the non-luxury models.

That too. Same with the steel they insist on dumping in other countries. Outcompete your competitors with subsidised product so that your competitors shut down and then enjoy the relative monopoly and jack prices up.

That's not necessarily true. China's high tech car assembly is not that of 20 years ago. They are cheap because of advanced automation, better than anyone except maybe Toyota in Japan. They are leaps and bounds ahead of North America in manufacturing technology.

Companies are moving low tech mfg out of China because Chinese workers get paid reasonably now. So those activities get moved to Vietnam, Laos, Bangladesh.

You have to laugh at people second guessing the new PM, who is just getting started, and expecting he, let alone anyone else, can do a reasonable agreement with Drumpf… …support for Canada’s Steel and Auto industry is equally as important as supporting for fossil fuels in Canada…

I can’t. What you seem to be unwilling to face is the economic fallout from radical transformation… I don’t like it but Canada’s federal and provincial governments both depend heavily on fossil fuel revenues to deliver programs and services …that’s reality, cheers!

Perhaps in some cases, but physically and technically transitioning a very large industrial operation to gas from coal is much, much easier… It’s right that it must be done and you are right that it must be done soon…however there’s no doubt that ending fossil fuel today would collapse the economy

Yes, there is a big difference between cutting off all use of fossil fuels today versus transitioning.

I agree, the question is how do we balance it with maintaining our social safety net and public services while we transition… Most people opposed to fossil fuels, like me, ignore the economic reality and while I sympathize with them, I cannot ignore it.. It’s very much a rock and a hard place…

Yes this is a great. The Liberals announced funding for transitioning steel from coal to electric arc technology a few years back and it’s coming to fruition … it’s a great deal and will be part of Canada’s transition I believe we will see more major green energy projects like this soon…

Good article…ultimately as fast a transition to clean as possible is the way to go, sadly our global “working consumer for profit” model is real Fixing leaks in the NG system would be essential. That’s what Trudeau’s “cap” was about I think the PM will back some major clean energy projects

I'd like to think he will too, but he's saying phrases like "decarbonized oil" and talking about new oil & LNG pipelines and ports. As Canadians, we need to get loud, and make sure our government understands we want a rapid transition, not more concessions to the O&G lobby.
