He intends to sell Stelco “in a year or so,” once he “makes some money.”
He intends to strip it of assets and value and then offload the rump—true private equity style.
Canada would have to bail out that rump or entirely lose domestic steel production.
Nationalise Stelco now.

Some of the sharpest analyses of Israeli politics come from Daniel Levy.
This should be subtitled in every language. Short, clear, impeccable.
Daniel Levy | Former Israeli Peace Negotiator | US/Middle East Project (@USMEP):
Netanyahu did not alone commit genocide for 3 years. He did not alone maintain decades of illegal occupation. It was system-wide.
Eisenkot was part of it & served in the military. He sat in the emergency unity security cabinet after Oct. 7 - during the genocide.
Israeli generals, soldiers & judges - all part of a system-wide mobilization. Dissenting voices existed but remained marginal.

Very true until Janet Yellen advocated for Russia’s central bank assets to be seized after they invaded Ukraine. Not your keys, not your coins. Not your vault, not your gold.
Jamie Dimon to a country that pulled its gold out of New York: you have three armies within 400 miles, while gold in America is protected by two oceans and the US military
“If we have the strongest military in the world and the strongest economy in the world, we will be the preeminent reserve currency. It is those two things.”
“I was in a country somewhere in the Middle East, and also in Europe, and the people said, we took our gold out of the vaults in New York City and moved it to our country. You know what I said to him? I said, you have three armies within 400 miles who can come take your gold.”
“That’s the real world. You’re not thinking clearly about safety. That gold is protected by the Atlantic, the Pacific, the United States military, the rule of law.”
“But if we are not the preeminent military and economy, you will see our reserve status come down.”

As I expected, Netanyahu, knowing it is impossible for him to form a right wing government again, just called for a national unity government exclusively of "Zionist parties," sending the message that the "Arab parties" must not be allowed to have any part in a governing coalition.

Germany's century of genocide didn't begin in Namibia but in the Boxer Rebellion where they were the most brutal western army that burned villages, slaughtered civilians, and plundered Beijing. And today, they are the second-largest military supplier of Israel.

The person who yelled, "Shove that ballroom up your fat ass," at Trump has done more for this country than most members of Congress. And that's a hill I'll die on.

The man was born in Tajikistan, subsequently acquired Ukrainian citizenship, and became a Spanish citizen some years ago. You’d think a “Strategic Communications Centre” might have discovered these rather elementary facts before spreading disinformation.
All they had to do was read El Pais.
Russia is preparing for war in Europe, and they continue to be issued visas.
Spanish police have arrested a former Russian soldier after discovering an illegal weapons operation in Catalonia, near the French border.
Investigators uncovered a concealed workshop inside a rented warehouse in Figueres, approximately 25 kilometers from France. The facility contained 644 firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, silencers and weapons components.
The seized arsenal is estimated to be worth €5 million.

Marco Rubio is the one who has led the dozens of illegal election interference operations across South America and Europe; he is the one who is pushing for the destabilization of Mexico and helped Bolsonaro escape money laundering charges, attempted to rig Brazil's election.

Bill C-39 puts foreign investors’ profits ahead of workers’ rights, environmental protections and Indigenous rights. Canada’s top scientists warn it will cause irreversible harm. So why are the Liberals limiting scrutiny instead of giving this bill the thorough review it demands?

Ireland boycotting, Canada joining. Pathetic, feckless country.

Cast your vote by November 5.

Canada's provinces disagree every day. Nobody calls self-government hopeless. Yet Indigenous nations are told they must all agree on one path. Self-determination means each nation chooses its own. Their disagreement is no excuse to keep control over them.

Corporate greed is Microsoft making $134 billion in profits last year, receiving $19 billion in tax breaks under Trump, paying a lower federal income tax rate than a nurse and getting rid of 60,000 workers.
“Corporations will create jobs if they get tax breaks” is a total scam.

Nationalize this company and tell this asshole to never fucking return. What a sham.

You live at the center of a global military empire with ~1,000 overseas bases, strangling countries w/ sanctions, coups & war for refusing to submit to US dictates. Thinking Americans shouldn’t care about elections abroad is brain dead imperial chauvinism

On October 7th, the world was told Hamas beheaded babies and out them in ovens. That was false. We were not told of many true cases where civilians were spared. I've compiled, for the first time, testimony from 26 cases where Hamas fighters spared civilians, citing orders to do so. The lie was used to justify Israel's slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians since.
