ArcellorMittal is also the parent of Dofasco in Hamilton the past few years and that location remains open so it goes both ways across the border.

If the plants closed were the least efficient, then IMO it doesn't matter what side of the border they're on ... it's a valid business decision.
OTOH - US steel closed down its most efficient operation (ie: lowest cost of production) which happens to be in Canada, in favour of less efficient operations in the US. How, other than politics, can you explain this kind of decision?
