Hopefully the economy picks back up soon enough and these job losses come back.

Sorry to hear about your job Nathan, and I agree this really sucks and it smacks of US politics too ... I can't imagine that the newer of your plants has a greater cost of production vs. the US plants - - especially considering the exchange right now.

Next time a US company tries to buy a Canadian business in a critical industry like steel production, we should all remember to call our MPs and tell them what we think of it.
