If you still have a Breathe Outdoors (formerly Campers Village) gift card, you have till Dec 31 to exchange them at MEC for one of their gift cards. Breathe closed down earlier this year. #Calgary #Alberta

6/8 CEO Michael Garcia is clear: there is no going back. Even if Canada reaches a steel deal with the U.S., the old business model is dead. Algoma is pivoting inward, reorienting production toward Canadian defence, infrastructure, and energy sectors.

5/8 The federal and Ontario governments have stepped in with a $500 million low-interest loan. This is the first lifeline from the $10-billion Large Enterprise Tariff Loan program. The cash is meant to help transform Algoma from a cross-border exporter into a domestic supplier.

2/8 The century-old steelmaker is ending its history as an integrated manufacturer. To survive the financial storm of 50 per cent U.S. tariffs, Algoma is accelerating its transition to electric arc furnace steelmaking. The move comes a full year earlier than planned.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way. ysaatio.fi/en/news/home...

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages
Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.
