but you never know things can be looking up....if Tesla helps.

From the past:

Noront Resources anticipated the final product will be exported to industrial regions in the northeast U.S. such as Ohio and Pennsylvania, to make stainless steel. Currently companies get their ferrochrome from South Africa and Kazakhstan.

AK Steel is located in Ohio

They are a big supplier to Tesla

They make  stuff like wonderful Stainless steel exhausts as an example.

I bring all this up today because of this tweet from Doug Ford Sept 23, 2019 while in Ohio.

Best to listen to the whole thing.

within a few seconds of the video you can see that Greg Rickford is there with Doug meeting in Ohio. OPEN for Ontario is mentioned and the importance of the Automotive industry to Ohio is mentioned. Also mentioned was USMCA importance.

Jason Kenney was also there.
