After breaking ground in 2023, the company building a plant to produce battery components for electric vehicles in a municipality near Kingston, Ont., says it's delaying construction of the plant citing a slowdown in EV sales.

Yeah it is egregious. The original deal was already a sham because for giving up huge swaths of land they are only getting paid $4 per head per year for 1400 people. This is essentially a lease of $5,600 for 100,000 square kilometers of land. Which includes Thunder Bay, North Bay, Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury. These people were manipulated into giving up their land, and we can't even honor the original scam.

This development indicates the insecurity of current regime leader Min Aung Hlaing who has suffered significant battlefield defeats in recent months including the loss of tourist hub Ngapali beach and the important Ruby-Jade mining town of Mogok just yesterday to anti-junta groups. Former dictator Than Shwe is considered a mentor to Min Aung Hlaing. Than Shwe was the one who placed Min Aung Hlaing as chief of staff of the military. Former president Thein Sein had just returned from a recent official visit to China, weeks after receiving an unusual and publicized visit by Chinese Ambassador to Burma.

Myanmar’s military regime has placed former senior military leaders—including ex-dictator Than Shwe and former President Thein Sein—under surveillance, sources close to the matter said.

They confirmed that current junta leader Min Aung Hlaing has directed his security forces in Naypyitaw to monitor not only the retired senior leaders of the previous regime and the quasi-civilian government that followed it, but also members of their households.

An alliance of ethnic armed groups in Myanmar has agreed to extend a ceasefire with the junta in northern Shan State after “pressure” from China, nearly four weeks after the collapse of a China-brokered ceasefire.

“China put a lot of pressure on us to have a ceasefire immediately,” the TNLA leader told the news agency. “Therefore, we have to do it as we can’t avoid it.”

He's referring to the appointment of a woman to lead the army. It's too "woke". The complaints by women soldiers and officers against sexual harassment is too "woke".

She's not minister. She's the military CHIEF. A general.

I think Chuck might postpone it, since TNT will get a much smaller number of games now under the Amazon deal. It might be once a week kind of deal. I think the other networks might offer him more money and he could chance his mind.

I think that's the right TNT has, to match one of the deals. Only thing I don't know is if TNT has the robust streaming platform that Amazon does.
