We hate on Stelco now too? I can't even imagine what the basis for that is--what I know is that my father and my grandfather both endured long, arduous strikes to secure benefits and wages and better futures for kids like me--better wages and benefits that ultimately extended to the folks at Dofasco--I don't say that with an opinion on unions one way or another--I just say it is it is...a fact. I also worked there myself during my summers off from school...so I have a little insight into what does and doesn't go on there. Dofasco has made it's way in the world--they survived, they also ran Algoma Steel into the ground and have never been able to sustain long-term success at Steel Car. While Stelco invested in downtown (and yes, left)--Dofasco never bothered at all, save for it's annual Christmas party.

And yes, Stelco was sold and it's name changed. But wait, didn't the same thing happen to Dofasco?
