Published: October 06, 2026 at 1:53p.m. EDTRon Wells, president of United Steel Workers Local 1005, discusses the relationship between Stelco’s corporate governance and the Trump administration. Industry Minister Mélanie Joly is accusing Stelco of violating commitments to maintain employment levels after the company announced it plans to lay off up to 500 workers in Hamilton. In a letter sent to Stelco’s president Monday, Joly expressed “extreme disappointment” with the plan to indefinitely idle some operations at its Hamilton Works facility and said the move would “be inconsistent” with commitments U. S. parent company Cleveland-Cliffs made to the federal government when Ottawa approved the takeover of Stelco in 2024. Joly said that at the time of the takeover, the company promised it would continue to employ at least the same number of unionized employees and the vast majority of non-unionized employees as when the deal was announced. “Undertakings given under the Act are binding commitments and do not cease to apply simply because business strategy or market conditions have changed,” Joly wrote in the letter, which was shared with CTV News.

Generac Holdings Inc. GNRC is becoming a major supplier of power-generation equipment for Commercial and Industrial (C&I) customers, particularly the rapidly expanding data center market. In the second quarter, C&I sales jumped 29% year over year to $556.5 million, driven by ramping revenues from products sold into the global data center market. C&I adjusted EBITDA margin expanded to 14.6% from 12.4% in the prior-year quarter, led by tariff refunds and operating discipline, partly offset by unfavorable mix and growth investments. Following its second-quarter performance, management projected low-30% C&I sales growth for 2026 compared with its earlier mid-to-high-20% expectation. The driving force behind Generac's C&I acceleration is the data center industry. AI infrastructure is driving extraordinary demand for electricity and backup power. Data centers cannot tolerate prolonged power interruptions, making large-scale standby generation an increasingly critical component of infrastructure planning. Generac is benefiting directly from this trend.
