Firstly, Japan is ready to give all the additional steel American needs. Moreover Japanese steel is renown for its quality, and Japanese steel industry is ready to ship any steel alloys and compounds imaginable, even those that are currently nobody asks for. And they are ready to complete any order quickly and with high consistency and basically with no deviation from the recipe. For any purpose.
There are also a lot of countries ready to ship any amount of pig iron for American steel industry.
And anthracite, is also most countries have troubles to sell rather to obtain.
With aluminum it's a bit more complicated, but then again, there are a lot of non-West countries robbing their own people to damp a lot of underpriced aluminum to global market. Sure, their aluminum is shit and should rather be seen as a raw resource for further processing than a ready to use material, but again, there are enough countries making a bit more expensive but actually good aluminum.
One can point that shipping cost would increase, but keep in mind that maritime shipping is the cheapest of all, so actually delivery of steel from Japan and aluminum from Africa to San-Francisco ports may cost about the same as the shipping cost from Canada by land.
Canada has very little exclusivity. If they can't understand their place through though process alone, then will learn it by experiencing it with their own bodies.

Electricity is necessary for aluminum production.
And it's also often necessary for creation of some particular steel compounds.
What Canada tried to pull out is to make American aluminum and steel manufacturers be less attractive to American companies in price.
