Could be any or a combination of those. As I understood, much of Dofasco's production went toward the automotive sector... so with that being decimated by Trump tariffs, maybe they don't need as much coke? So they can produce what's needed with the remaining plant while buying to fill the gap?

I expect that any announcement of electric-arc furnace development in Hamilton would clarify things.

And smart that they're working to break into the defense market.

Hopefully other steelmakers in Canada do likewise. And for housing too (I get that the housebuilding sector is very important to our lumber industry, but steel can replace wood for many parts of a new home).
