@sarobertson.bsky.socialReposted by @robinedgar59.bsky.socialMélanie Joly on Stelco: "A few possible outcomes of a court process can lead to financial penalties towards the company, forcing them to abide by the commitment, and also a forced divestiture, so forcing them to sell their Canadian assets. Everything is on the table."

@robinedgar59.bsky.socialDoes it depend upon what the meaning of the word "best" is?

Or are they the "best" in terms of being the sleaziest of sleazy dive bars?
Just asking. . . 😉😇
