flag Algoma Steel to cut 1,000 jobs by March 2026 due to U.S. tariffs and shift to electric furnaces.

flag Algoma Steel in Sault Ste. flag Marie, Ontario, will lay off around 1,000 workers—about a third of its workforce—starting March 23, 2026, due to U.S. tariffs on Canadian steel. flag The 50% tariff has limited U.S. market access and forced early closure of the company’s blast furnace and coke operations. flag Algoma is accelerating its shift to electric-arc furnace technology using recycled steel. flag Despite a C$500 million government loan to aid the transition, the cuts have raised community concerns. flag The company said the restructuring is essential for long-term survival and plans to provide support to affected workers.
