‘Shine light on dirt’ — Zekelman's Buy Canadian snitch line: $10K payout so far

Windsor steel tycoon Barry Zekelman has paid out $10,000 so far to whistleblowers who snitch on contractors allegedly using foreign steel for publicly funded Canadian projects — including, locally, the St. Clair Transmission Line and Amherstburg’s new firehall. Zekelman told the Star that after quietly lobbying behind the scenes, his “Buy Canadian campaign” is a public offensive to shame government representatives into doing “the right thing for our country.”
