Many families in Hamilton have worked multiple generations at ArcelorMittal Dofasco. We’ll take every step to ensure our steel and aluminum industries remain strong for generations to come, because we are Canada strong. (2/2)
Stelco had/has a union but Dofasco has never been unionized. I think Dofasco just made the decision to be competitive with Stelco by having good wages and benefits even without unionization. That how my Grandpa ran his company in Buffalo too, pay & benefits were *better* than if employees unionized.
Yes. My Grandpa had employees who worked for his company for decades. He treated his employees well, with good pay and benefits, big Christmas bonuses and a great party like Dofasco.
My friends' dads spent their whole working lives at Dofasco or Stelco and retired well. A lot of Hamiltonians have.
It is about time #KeithStarmer and #KingCharles say something. We aren't just members of the Commomweath, we are 1 of 14 realms that have not given up the King. He is King of Canada, not just Head of State.
14 Commonwealth realms that share the British monarch as their head of state are Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, The Bahamas, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu.
They don’t care about us. Any of us. They’ve shown they’re more worried about maintaining a good relationship with the US. If we’re lost as collateral damage, they won’t lose any sleep about it.
They’re too busy kissing trump’s feet. They don’t give a shit about us lowly Canadians. Being part of the commonwealth is a one way street. They want our support and to waltz in any time, but they don’t offer anything in return
Landing fees... everyone who flies has to pay landing fees... the bigger the plane the bigger is the landing fee. it use to be like that when I was an Air Traffic Controller
Landing fees for sure, more money for planes flying above our country, they are not that many airports in the USA that can avoid flying over Canada to go to Asia or Europe ! I have flights above my place that goes between Portland and Seattle !
Find NEW ALLIES for both Defence and trade
❤️the American people- but tariffs show us that over reliance on one partner can be catastrophic
🍁🇨🇦🍁 Strong and Free
Thank you. That is way better than the tax cuts poilievre wants that would benefit the wealthy and not help the Unemployed. Let’s keep our people working & maintaining their skills as we transition to new markets, companies and industry.
I’m sure we can find buyers for our products that aren’t petty juvenile idiots. Blaming others for the trade agreement you initiated yourself is proof positive that stupidity or dementia are driving Trump’s current agenda, which he’s changing at the same rate as his diapers.
Loved it when Dofasco would advertise on major radio stations even though no one could actually buy the steel they produced. It all went to manufacturing products.
"Our product is steel, our strength is people" Great.
@mark-carney.bsky.social
What can we do to start fabricating more aluminum in Canada??
Is it possible to retool or fast track production for some aluminum products like cans or
Have you considered applying membership in the world's biggest free trade area, the Single Market, aka the EU? I think Canada will fit in just fine. We can change the name to describe the novel geographical reach better. How about: North Atlantic Trade Organisation? NATO, a true alliance. 😎
It's great to see the dollar-for-dollar approach. However, what we would also like to see and hear are plans to BUILD. Spend money on infrastructure projects and military rebuild (done in #Canada) so that no workers lose their job AND #Canadians get prouder & stronger in the process.
As a sane, moral American I agree and support Canada - NOT the US - 100%. Like millions I am ashamed and angry at us, Trump is destroying everything. Those like me are partisans under occupation - we will resist
I advise Canada ramp up weapons production. I request Canada not give America one dot of material that could be used for weapons production. I am guessing America is going to quit selling weapons for two reasons, they might end up in Ukraine, they need them for this stupid war against Canada.
Well, I truly hope that your government recognizes the necessity to starve America of its ability to wage war with you. Unless something really drastic happens to him, I believe he fully intends to start shooting at you guys. Trump is fucking nuts.
How fast would the US would collapse if Canada was about to find a place for democrats to live within Canada.. and how long would it take for Canada to become the most beloved powerful but loving country to ever exist?
Imagine all the doctors
And nurses
That would be able to establish hospitals to turn the length of treatment time and surgery wait to almost no time at all.
I'm an American and live in Michigan. I am with Canada all the way, even if my electricity gets turned off. Glad you were elected and I sincerely hope you are able to do what you need to in order to protect Canadians.
Prime Minister, as a gay American citizen, I ask for your help. We fear for our lives bc of Trump's rhetoric & hate speech.
Will you allowing us into your country asap? We are more than willing to work & help Canada in any way we can.
Just yesterday, he posted this. It is clear we are not safe.
Within struggle lies opportunity. Canada must diversify customer base, prioritize economy over climate hysteria and support Canadian citizens first before any globalist agendas. That’s a winning ticket Mark. Question is - can you deliver that?
Let's get going with infrastructure projects, that will need steel and aluminum. Pipelines, Loading facilities and docks, for ships. Fast trains and more. Canadian EV's. Sell the rest to the EU, Asia, Africa and eastern Europe. We've got this! Go Team Canada!
Well said Mark Carney. Now, can you do a deal to sell to the UK / EU instead? Just one thing. Call it AlumINIum. It'll go down a storm with the Brits....
@mark-carney.bsky.social Maga trump smith needs to be up on treason charges Canada. This is NOT team Canada we need this fascist trash and her Con trump fascist goverment out of Alberta ENOUGH !! THIS is what MAGA smith uses our taxes on TREASON TRAITOR TRASH SMITH ... https://bsky.app/profile/thegentyyc.bsky.social/post/3lk6w5pbm4c2b
Millions will need to take to the streets, numbers are growing, but we must show undeniable strength in unity. Beyond protests, we must strategically align our spending with the tariffs our allies, like Canada, impose on us, turning economic pressure into a powerful weapon. Look at Tesla stock
Please don't back down to trump. He's a narcissistic bully and he will continue to destroy our country and any others in his path. You know why he's doing this- don't let him.
I feel badly for Americans who will suffer, I'm one of them. He needs to see there are people he cannot bully
Just know you have millions of Americans supporting you, our Canadian neighbors, and our long standing alliance. Do what you need and we totally support you and send love from your South. 🇨🇦🇺🇸
I also have to include that my partner is a dual citizen and his entire family is in Canada. So while I’m 100% team Canada before being apart of that amazing family, I’m even more now so. We will get through this together. ❤️🤍
Thank you. It’s unfortunate that there’s millions more that have no clue what’s actually happening and believe all the misinformation that’s being pushed on them.
From what I've been seeing that started happening the day the tariffs were announced. And the thing about the US going on a trade war rampage with everyone is that everyone else has room to expand their trade options.
It’s time for a new era, The Coalition of The Willing, Leave #USA to themselves! better to create strong trade and security alliances with #EU #UK #Australia #NZ #Japan #Norway and #SouthKorea we all share similar ideals values and sentiments, let’s build upon the strong foundations present!
You going to give them another $250m despite them posting Billion’s in profits? Only for them to blow up the foundry we bought by making their workers work Xmas morning.
How about bringing back the rolling steel tariffs on offshore coil? I almost lost my job because of that.
Today I’m reminded of the Dofasco employee who straight up gaslight me this past winter. After sending hundreds of thousands of pound of defective material, they refused to admit blame and shifted it onto us.
Yeah, well every dollar of Our tariffs will support our mbillionaires! So there...
How dya like Ummmm them Sigh.
Could you please send our suckyass whiskey back? Please?? Thanks.
🤍🇨🇦✌️🇨🇦🤍
Looks like we Americans have to count on foreign leaders to do what our own ELECTED LEGISLATORS are treasonously failing to do - slap consequences on a lunatic traitor running amok in our government. 🤬
Hello my name is Eddy am very sorry I might be stranger but I really need your hand of support, I feel like giving up on stray and abandoned children under my wings,I'm struggling to cover the cost of food and medications for their survival and I feel heartbreak seeing these children suffering
I'm an American and I didn't sign up for any of this. I've never voted for Donald Trump. Please do whatever Canadians need to do to help your country. Sane Americans only want the best for our allies.
American here. Do what you have to do to protect your country from this evil want to be dictator. Our country is under assault and will go through many difficult times in the near future but we will survive. We cannot let this monster take over our countries.
Mr. Carney, please know that as much as we in America dread the outcome of this trade-war, those of us with sense fully support you, and of course, Canada.
Wow, you don’t want to show where your worries lie by buying something from the richest man in the WORLD? You want to help WORKERS? We’ve had Presidents like that before, but sadly, now we have one that is only for the very wealthy and is confused about who are friend and who are foe.
Oh, Canada.
Yeah? How long until you cave to #TraitorTrump? His Russian handler agrees to roll back some miniscule tariff, and you back down? Or are we supposed to believe you really have the balls to stand up to this madman? Honest question!
American here and we support you and back our Canadian friends. Feeling the economic impact here too. I suffer with you and you support you standing up to the bully!!
Canada should "jersey" the US on Apr 1 and shut off ALL electricity to the US!! Tell trump and Howard Assnick it won't be turned back on until ALL tariffs have been lifted for a period of 3 months!!
Take the US oot behind the wood shed and drop the gloves. Eh!!
Completely unjustified. I am an American and I am embarrassed and ashamed of what the government is doing. Honestly, I have not talked to a single American who supports this. There is an insane idiot running our country right now.
My entire family was from Hamilton! I wish they had never left for sunny California back in the day. (Nothing against CA, just I’d rather be Canadian.)
Small world! Hamilton could be a cruel teacher at times. I was fortunate to have survived it. I still go back from time to time to visit a few of my old crew. 🙂✌️
Me too. And lived there for half my life before moving to WA state. Now we have the pleasure of looking across the strait at Vancouver Island every single day. So close and yet so far. Sigh.
But you know, this isn't the way to win with DonOld, he only knows how to double-down on his positions, and he's very weak to flattery.
You'll have much better success placating him. Tell him he's right, he's the best, and you'll do what he wants, then offer him what you're already doing.
Democratic voters are horrified at Trump‘s treatment of Canada. Washington, Oregon and California have more in common with Canada than we do with much of the rest of the United States. Many of us wish we could join Canada at this point! We are with you in heart, spirit and rebellion!
We definitely understand the stakes… And are fighting back! The mainstream media does not report on what we are doing often. There is going to be huge political fallout in the coming elections for Democrats that did not fight hard enough for our freedoms. More to come…
They are creating their own mess… The crashing economy and gutting social programs is going to hurt MAGA the most so I doubt Republicans are going to have as many supporters in the future.
I agree… We are trying to pressure our representatives for more autonomy from the federal government and to build a stronger resistance immediately. We will see how successful we are… uncharted waters.
It’s completely baffling, but this has been building for years now. MAGA control of the Republican Party is now complete. Even Republican senators that in the past might have provided some resistance to the fascist excesses we are seeing now have been corrupted.
I hope you guys start the paperwork to secede from the U.S. You would actually be cherished here. You are more like us. And we could turn on the big tap to your states. 🙃😁
Citizens from every state need to express in writing & verbally to their state, representatives & governor, representatives at all levels, including federal, concerns and desire to become part of Canada if that’s what you want to explore& hopefully it will help facilitate positive change for you!
We appreciate the love, but if you guys can't take your country back, coming to Canada won't get you far enough away from the tyrant. We're digging in right now, but ultimately, the people of the US either stand up, or it's all over. We'll back you up, however we can. ✌️❤️🍁
As an American living close to the Canadian border, I am embarrassed for our screwed up leader ship. The tariffs are unjustified and Canadian workers don’t deserve that hurt. Retaliation is a rational option. I will continue to support and believe in Canada.
The problem with you politicians and business people, is that you hate real people. Just like Trudeau. You hate seniors. Or a single mother raising her kids on part time work. Have YOU ever had to stand in a food bank line just to get some food cause all your money all goes on rent.
Mr. Carney, the Australian Prime Minister has called retaliatory tariffs a form of “economic self-harm” and has chosen not to apply them. Why does Canada 🇨🇦 want to harm Canadians?
With Australia its like 3.9% of our trade. If we had the same trade with America as you do, we would apply Tarriffs. We have to be careful with China when they have hissy fits and Tarriff us as well.
I think we need a balance. We can’t just bend over. Why aren’t we asking for a new trade agreement if the last one, that trump negotiated, isn’t good enough for him?? However, knowing Trump’s fragile ego and narcissism and yearning for power and respect, we could get in trouble poking the fat bear
Just like his idol Putin, he loves to break a ceasefire deal 25 times over.
Fuck all of these authoritarian oligarchs!! Americans better not let this continue much longer. The founding fathers had laws in place to prevent this, I thought all patriots would care about that. But I guess not.
Australia’s biggest trading partner is China by a huge margin. The USA means very little to their industries.
Comparing apples to basketballs. Completely different situation.
Life-long U.S. citizen here. We love Canada. We love to see you fighting back against Trump and his anti-American bully mob. Welcome, Prime Minister Carney. 🇨🇦 🍁

There used to be a tradition in Newfoundland where finishing a bottle of screech and kissing the cod made you an honorary Newfy. So maybe you are on to something
I'm actually exploring a pathway that depends on what happens with c71. But if that falls through, I see a fish kissing trip to Newfoundland in my future.
The economies of the EU and Canada are naturally complementary... With the expected increase in defense spending in the next several years, we can use a lot of steel and aluminum... Natural gas and oil as well. Preferably sourced from countries that are not bloodthirsty dictatorships.
Don't relent. It doesn't pay with Inmate# P01135809. If you try to work with him, he'll screw you anyway. He sees it as weakness. I think we've all seen this. We know it's true. Stand strong. To hell with TЯ̈УӍП. Get what you want out of this.
As an American I am embarassed by Trump's unjust and idiotic actions and statements. Keep going, most in the US support our friends in Canada, Mexico and Europe.
That is a terrible idea.
Replace all the O&G used in the east with clean tech.
Then we won't need any new pipelines.
Ship natural gas to the EU using the existing pipelines, just extended to the ports.
NB has a nuclear power plant which they can barely operate and keep running. Oil makes more than just gas, like clean Hydrogen that you want. And we need the gas. Plus it buys the oil out west instead of the pipelines going south. Right now they dangerously ship it by “dirty” rail across the country
Sir: as an American I am very sorry for the actions of this government & the wannabe dictator. I support your decision & actions in response to an unmitigated attack against our Ally. God Bless Canada 🇨🇦
Elbows up. Never give up. We have won every war we have ever been in unlike our neighbours to the south. There was a time when Ukrainians loved Russians. But when you declare war on neighbours you should not expect them to not retaliate Putin and Trump
That's a bit different than here in the USA. We seem to want to screw over all citizens, no matter whose.
Also, I at first thought that was Kristi Gnome cos-playing as a worker at first
Hi Mark and team, a friendly reminder as you start your campaign push and messaging as PM, please utilize the accessibility features for these sites. The picture is not utilizing accessibility features.
Carney, you better not fucking double cross your voters. It’s a global coup waged by billionaires and you better support your people over the psychopathic billionaires. I say this because I have no faith in any “leader”. Be the one your people need. Don’t cave to power!
As Kamala voter, I'm so sorry and ashamed. So many Americans are working hard to fix what's happening, even as we're completely overwhelmed by the destabilization. You all deserve better than this. I hope we'll be worthy of your friendship again someday.😔
Canada must never back down. This thing about negotiating with bullies is that whatever agreement or concession you make that is regarded as weakness and they are always coming back for more.
King Charles is subtly supportive 🇨🇦❤️ he’s not allowed to be political but our shared monarchy has a long history of sending messages with what they wear & when

American here, Sir. Congratulations on your election! Millions o us down here LOVE Canada and appreciate what a wonderful neighbor you have always been. Please stick it to Trump and the US Red states as much as you can.
You had my vote the minute you stepped into the race - and I've always voted Conservative beforehand. You've got the steady hand to steer the ship @mark-carney.bsky.social 🇨🇦💪 #CanadaStrong
Please do your best to persuade others who were leaning toward the conservatives to come back to the centre 😊💗
Pierre is a demagogue like Trump and values profit over ppl. But it’s caring for people who will get us through this and concentration on money that threatens us.
Please hit them with serious export taxes on stuff they need from us: oil, potash, lumber, power, etc.
Tit for tat isn't good enough.
He wants to destroy us.
We need to take action to take him down and that will mean hurting everyday Americans, but this is economic war.
Funny how many Americans support us while Alberta premier Danielle Smith will be a highlighted speaker with Ben Shapiro in Florida in two weeks. We are unfortunately surrounded by Canadian traitors.
I’m an Albertan,I didn’t vote for her or any UCP ever! It’s so gross she’s doing this and my tax dollars are paying for the trip. She’s such a tRump ass kissing bish.
She should just move there
On FB Pollivere’s posts keep coming across my my story feed at the top. I said something snarky to him a couple of days ago. I think I might just block him.
Most Americans are dumbfounded and horrified at the antics of the Orange Menace which have very serious consequences for us and for our Canadian neighbors. You do what you need to take care of your own. MAGA has some hard lessons to learn.
We don’t blame you protect your people bc this is crazy! We blame this irresponsible and sinister administration. I didn’t vote for this psychopathic orange 😭
Thank you my Aussie friend! You’ve been hit too. I’ll look out for Australian products to buy here in Canada, but there’s no way I’m eating vegemite! 😂
Sorry, not all of us Americans agree with this president. I understand what you need to do and maybe this will finally open the eyes of some misguided Americans.
I'm in the US, and I support this 100%. It's going to hurt us all. I already struggle, and this will probably make it harder still. I don't take this lightly. But Trump has to be stopped. Obviously Republicans don't plan to reel him in, so do what you must. It will be for our good, to be honest.
It's so messed up that all the merch he sells his followers to wear, none of it is made in the USA.
I kinda wish Canada would join the US and each of the 10 provinces become a state, all the residence become US citizens. DonOld's party would never win an election for anything ever again.
We’re not like the USA.
Health care is a right not a business.
We respect individual cultures, especially First Nations and French cultures and languages that founded this nation.

You guys didn’t start this. For some unfathomable reason are elected (?) leader decided to turn on our allies. The majority of us stand with you against this artificially created “trade war”.

Most of my friends' dads worked at Dofasco or Stelco; those steel mills were dirty, hard shift work but provided a good living to raise a family on.

Good luck!
You have a strong country behind you!
We'd love to have you!
It only starts with one.
Think of Trump - remember in his 1st term when he called Georgia asking for 1780 (or so) extra votes that he needed to win?
What if this time Musk 'provided' extra 0.5%?
Ban the calling of Elections in the winter, and require each polling place to have ROBUST PUBLIC TRANSIT LINKS WITH FREQUENT 15 MINUTE SERVICE
