CBC leaves out important context: Stelco is owned by U.S.-based Cleveland-Cliffs. An American parent is restructuring its Canadian operations while citing American tariffs. The Canadian job losses are real. So is that context. 🔗 www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Social Care is affordable in the UK. Just not Privatised Social Care. Currently a Social Care Worker is paid £12.60 an hour. The Council is charged £33.20 an hour. A huge amount of this is profit which goes completely untaxed. As you can see this will NEVER be affordable.

#Ukraine F-16 pilots have downed 3,150+ aerial targets - 666 cruise missiles and ~2,500 drones - plus 650+ airstrikes on ground targets, per Air Force Commander Kryvonozhko, crediting pilot skill and allied support. Source: Ukraine.ua
A pilot inside a fighter jet cockpit wears a helmet and oxygen mask while looking out over a landscape of fields and scattered clouds below. In the distance, a plume of black smoke trails from a descending object. The bright blue sky features scattered clouds, with "UKRAINE" and a small blue-and-yellow flag in the top left corner. Text overlays read "Ukrainian F-16 pilots in action" and "3,150+ aerial targets destroyed," with a caption explaining that a Ukrainian F-16 pilot watches a Russian Shahed drone he just downed.
