Okay so the handful of steel producers can ship cheaper, where is all this steel going that it needs a 50% gov't subsidy on shipping?

Like is this auto and aerospace industry support? Is this just making it cheaper to ship to China? Is it making it easier to buy Canadian instead of Chinese steel?

If I need a train car full of steel, shipping is going to happen by train anyways no? It'd cost a fortune by truck and most of Canada is land locked.

Just saying I don't understand the economic goals here.

It's often cheaper to ship something on a boat and have it travel 15,000km around the continent than it is to send it 3,000km on a train.

Maybe fix the rail industry instead of just putting money in their pocket.

I like how the have the crappy yard locomotives in the background. Never far from the shop because their constantly breaking down, and pollution like there no tomorrow.
