How else should the government have initiated what will clearly be a legal fight? Air strike? Unilateral declaration of ownership? Taking the plant by force? Arresting all the leadership? Deporting them as undesireable?
Yup, any legal mechanisms to enforce terms of past agreement will be procedural and pretty boring. There’s also a significant political risk if this is handled hamfistedly. Stelco is an American company. Any steps that deprive them of control over or possession or their assets will quickly get the attention of an administration that doesn’t see any particular need to honour agreements if they don’t feel like it. Steel is already a hot button topic.
Why is that funny?
