Algoma Steel CEO: Feds knew about plans for layoffs before giving $400M loan
The head of Algoma Steel says the federal government and Government of Ontario knew the company’s business plan included a re-tooling of its Sault Ste. Marie plant that would result in layoffs before they agreed to half a billion dollars in loan assistance to help the company weather the storm of U.S. tariffs.
… Garcia explained to host Vassy Kapelos that cutting jobs at Algoma Steel was “always the future of this company.” Only 1,600 employees are required to operate electric furnaces that can produce 3.2 million tonnes of steel, compared to 3,000 employees operating blast furnaces that produce two million tonnes, he noted.
However, transformation timelines have sped up as a result of unprecedented tariffs imposed by the United States, which have effectively closed off the American market to Canadian steel.
Paganism is top choice for Christians who convert to new faith
Paganism is the most popular spiritual destination for British Christians who convert to another faith, outstripping Buddhism, Islam and Judaism, a study has found.
Religious faith is “fragmenting” in the UK as more than one in ten people who abandon Christianity in Britain take up paganism, wicca or another form of “spiritualism”, according to the report.
While Christianity is still gaining new adherents, these arrivals are outnumbered by people quitting the faith, figures showed. This is leading Christianity to dwindle in Britain overall, casting doubt on recent reports suggesting that a revival may be under way.
WTF?
And so it begins. This is a sad day when the people feel so betrayed by their own leaders, that they feel this is the only way back to sanity. PLEASE America, wake up before it is too late. What is happening in Europe WILL come here. It doesn’t have to be this way.… https://t.co/9WYnC4t92A

Mark Carney and Danielle Smith may be in for more hassle than they bargained for
Danielle Smith was flying high last Thursday as she and Mark Carney signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in Calgary. Interesting that it was called an MOU and not an agreement, although most of the news media, and Smith herself, talked about it in those terms.
So now Carney and Smith have an “understanding” that an oil pipeline may be built from Alberta to the northwest coast of B.C. despite the oil tanker ban and B.C. premier David Eby’s objections; the industrial carbon price may go up in Alberta; and Alberta may get its multibillion Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage facility. That’s an awful lot of uncertainty given all the hype and hoopla surrounding the announcement.

The Oxford student who mocked Charlie Kirk still hasn’t learnt his lesson
As a result of his response to the murder of a leading conservative activist – “Charlie Kirk got shot loool” – George Abaraonye will no longer get to serve as the president of the Oxford Union debating society. I’m sure we all agree that this represents a profound loss to the field of philosophical inquiry. Especially now we’ve been told what Mr Abaraonye had been planning to do during his term of office. According to reports, the Oxford PPE undergraduate had intended to hold a debate about the hanging of British flags in public – under the title, “This house believes that flying the flag betrays Great British values.”
WTF?

Pakistani immigrant arrested with car full of guns, plans to carry out mass shooting— and chilling note about ‘martyrdom’
A Pakistani immigrant and University of Delaware student was arrested with a cache of guns, ammunition and body armor, and a manifesto allegedly explaining plans to “kill all” and achieve “martyrdom” with a mass shooting on the school’s campus.
Luqmaan Khan, 25, was arrested just before midnight on Nov. 24 after cops found him in his pickup truck in a park after hours, and decided to search the car when he began acting suspiciously.
Putin rejects Ukraine peace deal after Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner talks
Russia has rejected a revised peace deal to end the war in Ukraine, after five hours of talks between President Putin and US representatives failed to deliver a breakthrough.
The meeting, attended by President Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, came after the Russian president accused European countries of trying to sabotage peace negotiations with “absolutely unacceptable” demands.
In remarks that suggested little hope of imminent progress towards peace, Putin said Russia was “ready” to fight a war in Europe.
Assembly of First Nations calls for withdrawal of Canada-Alberta pipeline deal
Assembly of First Nations chiefs voted unanimously on Tuesday to demand the withdrawal of a new pipeline deal between Canada and Alberta, while expressing full support for First Nations on the British Columbia coast that strongly oppose the initiative.
Hundreds of First Nations leaders are gathered this week in Ottawa for their annual December meeting, where high on the agenda was the federal-provincial memorandum of understanding for a bitumen pipeline to Asian markets announced last week.
The deal contemplates changing the federal ban on oil tanker traffic in northern B.C. waters, but AFN delegates responded by passing an emergency resolution affirming their support for the moratorium.
Ontario isn’t auditing doctors for excessive claims, A-G finds
Ontario’s Auditor-General says the province isn’t auditing doctors whose billings raise obvious red flags, including 82 doctors who claimed to have worked 24 hours or more in a single day, a diagnostic radiologist who billed for an average of 461 patients a day, and an ophthalmologist who billed $6.7-million in one year, more than twice as much as the next highest biller in the specialty.
The same unnamed ophthalmologist has been investigated three times for allegedly charging patients out-of-pocket fees for services that should be free through the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. The first review found the doctor wrongly charged patients, a second cleared the ophthalmologist, and a third is ongoing.
I’m betting Doug will pour out another bottle of booze when he hears about this.
