Show Notes
After Algoma Steel’s shocking decision to lay off 1,000 workers, Alex takes a deeper look at the story behind one of Canada’s most storied industrial giants. How did a company that helped power generations of families in Sault Ste. Marie — end up here?
To understand Algoma’s rise, its struggles, and why this moment matters far beyond Northern Ontario, Alex is joined by historian Duncan McDowall, author of Steel at the Sault.
