Yes, A Canuck steel mill. But it was bought by US Steel and that's what was printed on my cheque. It has since been bought by another US company, Bedrock Industries. They buy businesses, improve them and hopefully flip them for a profit. Since the buyout the company is profiting for the 1st time in many years.

I salute you back.

My bad. I meant "North American" steel maker. Since the US is a net importer of steel, I prefer the Canadian stuff. I've been in China iron foundries where they wear shower shoes on the pouring floor...assuming they have at least two toes left to keep them on their feet. Than ain't right, at any price.

I don't know the Canadian version of OSHA. But I doubt it translates to Chinese. I saw a guy there blind stumble out of a core room to the restroom after taking a face full of ammonia gas. No wonder we have a hard time competing.
