Buy local, buy Canadian
Sault Business Matters has received the following statement from Sault member of parliament Terry Sheehan relative to the ongoing tariff saga.
The last time Donald Trump imposed arbitrary tariffs on Canadian steel in 2018, our government fought back, with dollar-for-dollar counter tariffs, and we won. We also supported the steel industry and workers during this difficult period.
Once again, I have been speaking with executives from Algoma Steel and the leadership of the local United Steelworkers to hear thoughts, concerns and ideas for a Team Canada response. Your government is ready to retaliate, and to support workers and industry as well.
These new tariffs are, once again, unreasonable and unjustified. As chair of the All-Party Steel Caucus, member of the Trade Committee, and as the representative of a proud steel town, I will work tirelessly to ensure that the US tariffs are lifted.
I encourage everyone to support our community and buy local, and buy Canadian.
— Terry Sheehan, Sault MP.
