Capitalist your statement about how much or little people earn is reprehensible and childish. It's almost as useful as "my daddy's bigger than your daddy". JonC is correct - if you feel like you're not welcome, you may leave.

I work for a very large company that used to be owned and operated by a Canadian and was sold to a US mill however when the takeover happened, they promised to maintain a hands off approach to us because we are, as a general rule, in the black (usually by a fair amount to). So the argument that selling to a US company or being owned by a US company automatically equates to a greater potential of job loss is fallacy. Last time I heard, when both Dofasco and Stelco were in Canadian hands the threat of major layoffs/shutdowns was there as well.

This is a good time to retool and rework our local economy so that it remains healthy in the future. Short term this really sucks and hurts a lot of people. Long term it provides people with an opportunity they might not have had before and gives Hamilton a chance to build a foundation that's broader than a steel worker's shoulders.
