The layoff of 1,000 Algoma Steel workers is miserable. It will do serious damage to their families and community. But is the PM to blame because Drama Don woke up feeling pissy, or didn't like a Doug Ford ad? Hunting for political points right now feels really tasteless. #TheSoo

1,000 jobs is about half of Algoma’s workforce. This is brutal news for these families, the Sault and for Canada. #theSoo

Over the last 5 years huge corporations have been pushing prices for necessities to absurd heights. It hurts families. It also hurts small and medium-sized businesses who sell things people are just having to do without. We should all be angry.
