New speed limits may be viewed as a 'revenue maker' by drivers, councillor saysBy ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Republican senators pushed back on Sunday against criticism from Democrats that , Donald Trump’s pick to lead , is “compromised” by and , as a congresswoman, with Syria’s president, a close ally of the Kremlin and Iran. Sen. Tammy Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat and veteran of combat missions in Iraq, said she had concerns about Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s choice to be . “I think she’s compromised,” Duckworth said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” citing Gabbard’s 2017 trip to Syria, where she held talks with Syrian President Bashar Assad. Gabbard was a Democratic House member from Hawaii at the time. “The U.S. intelligence community has identified her as having troubling relationships with America’s foes. And so my worry is that she couldn’t pass a background check,” Duckworth said. Gabbard, who said last month she is joining the Republican Party, has served in the Army National Guard for more than two decades. She was deployed to Iraq and Kuwait and, according to the Hawaii National Guard, a Combat Medical Badge in 2005 for “participation in combat operations under enemy hostile fire in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom III.” Duckworth’s comments drew immediate backlash from Republicans. “For her to say ridiculous and outright dangerous words like that is wrong,” Sen. Markwayne Mullin, a Republican from Oklahoma, said on CNN, challenging Duckworth to retract her words. “That’s the most dangerous thing she could say — is that a United States lieutenant colonel in the United States Army is compromised and is an asset of Russia.” In recent days, other Democrats have accused Gabbard without evidence of being a “Russian asset.” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, has claimed, without offering details, that Gabbard is in Russian President Vladimir “Putin’s pocket.” Mullin and others say the criticism from Democrats is rooted in the fact that Gabbard left their party and has become a Trump ally. Democrats say they worry that Gabbard’s selection as national intelligence chief endangers ties with allies and gives Russia a win. Rep. Adam Schiff, a California Democrat just elected to the Senate, said he would not describe Gabbard as a Russian asset, but said she had “very questionable judgment.” “The problem is if our foreign allies don’t trust the head of our intelligence agencies, they’ll stop sharing information with us,” Schiff said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” Gabbard in 2022 endorsed one of Russia’s justifications for : the existence of working on some of the world’s nastiest pathogens. The labs are part of an international effort to control outbreaks and stop bioweapons, but Moscow claimed Ukraine was using them to create deadly bioweapons. Gabbard said she just voiced concerns about protecting the labs. Gabbard also has suggested that Russia had legitimate security concerns in deciding to invade Ukraine, given its desire to join NATO. Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri said he thought it was “totally ridiculous” that Gabbard was being cast as a Russian asset for having different political views. “It’s insulting. It’s a slur, quite frankly. There’s no evidence that she’s a asset of another country,” he said on NBC. Sen. James Lankford, another Oklahoma Republican, acknowledged having “lots of questions” for Gabbard as the Senate considers her nomination to lead the intelligence services. Lankford said on NBC that he wants to ask Gabbard about her meeting with Assad and some of her past comments about Russia. “We want to know what the purpose was and what the direction for that was. As a member of Congress, we want to get a chance to talk about past comments that she’s made and get them into full context,” Lankford said.:Lumen Technologies has kicked off a process to sell its consumer fiber operations, as the telecommunications company looks to phase out its legacy mass markets business and reduce its sizable debt pile, according to people familiar with the matter. The move to offload the fiber business, which provides high-speed internet services to residential customers, comes as Lumen is doubling down on the artificial intelligence boom to power its near-term growth, while grappling with a rapid decline in sales and profits from its legacy business. Monroe, Louisiana-based Lumen is working with investment bankers at Goldman Sachs to gauge interest for the business from potential acquirers that include industry rivals, the sources said, requesting anonymity as the matter is confidential. The company's shares closed up nearly 5 per cent on the news on Thursday. Lumen could also choose to sell a stake in the fiber unit or sign a joint-venture deal with a strategic partner, the sources said, adding that the talks are at an early stage and a deal is not guaranteed. The company has been exploring options for the mass markets business, which houses the fiber operations, since earlier this year. At the Bank of America Leveraged Finance Conference earlier this month, Lumen Chief Financial Officer Chris Stansbury said the fiber business was "a great asset, but an asset that is probably better suited in somebody's hands that has a wireless offering." Any deal would require Lumen to split up its fiber business, which also offers internet services to large enterprise customers, the sources said, adding that the company is not planning to sell the enterprise fiber operations. As of the end of September, Lumen operated 4.1 million fiber-enabled locations. Depending on what parts of the consumer fiber unit Lumen chooses to sell and how a deal is structured, the transaction could be valued at $6 billion to $9 billion, the sources said. Lumen and Goldman Sachs both declined to comment. STRATEGIC SHIFT Known as CenturyLink before its 2020 rebranding, Lumen has changed course several times over the years, most recently in 2021 when the company sold its local exchange carrier assets in 20 states to Apollo-backed Brightspeed for $7.5 billion. Lumen's legacy business offers broadband, voice and other services to businesses and residential customers. It owns underground cables that are leased out through long-term contracts and helps provide fiber connectivity to customers. To turn around its fortunes, Lumen has restructured its debt and signed billions of dollars of new contracts to provide networking and cybersecurity services to Big Tech companies. Lumen has also been attempting to shrink its reliance on the legacy business, which was grown from past acquisitions - including its $25 billion merger with Level 3 Communications in 2017 - and has declined in value over the years as the technology has become outdated. In August, the company secured $5 billion in business from new customers, including Microsoft, to provide AI connectivity to cloud computing data centers. In its latest quarter, Lumen signed new contracts worth $3 billion, which included partnerships with Meta, Alphabet and Amazon. The contract wins have bolstered Lumen's share price, which has more than tripled in value this year, giving the company a market value of about $6.2 billion. Lumen’s long-term debt stood at $18.1 billion for the quarter ended Sept 30. Lumen posted revenue of $3.2 billion in the third quarter, down 11.5 per cent from the same period a year earlier, while its net loss widened to $148 million. Its fiber broadband business, which accounts for 40 per cent of its mass markets broadband revenue, grew 16.6 per cent from last year. In September, Lumen launched a debt swap for near-term bonds to extend some of its maturities. The exchange triggered a downgrade in Lumen's credit rating from S&P Global Ratings. In November, S&P assigned a CreditWatch Positive rating to Lumen on the back of the company's recent AI contract wins, indicating that its credit rating could be upgraded by a notch depending on its fourth-quarter results.

Mark Brennan, CEO and Chairman commented: "The option of these non-core properties to CVSA, the logical owner of these properties, is highly accretive to Cerrado and its shareholders. The Transaction will immediately improve the balance sheet and short-term capital position at MDN, allowing us to focus on our core properties. With current strong operating cashflows at MDN and capital proceeds from asset sales, we are very well positioned to pursue strong growth programs at MDN and at our Mont Sorcier high grade iron project, as well as look at additional opportunities to grow the Company in the near term." Transaction Summary and Details The Michelle Properties are a collection of 14exploration concessions, totaling approximately 14,000 hectares located approximately 100 km to the South-East of the MDN plant and 10 km to the North-West of CVSA's Cerro Vanguardia Mine. The Michelle Properties are highlighted in the following map: MDN will receive from CVSA the Argentina CCL peso equivalent of US$4 million to MDN on or about December 27, 2024. CVSA may exercise the Option at its sole discretion at any time within three (3) years unless earlier terminated (the "Option Period") by providing an exercise notice to MDN and paying the exercise price of the Argentina pesos equivalent of US$10 million.

Arctic Bay, Nunavut, is expecting to receive federal money to build a small craft harbour in 2025, six years after the project was first announced. In 2019, the federal government revealed plans to build harbours in four Nunavut communities — Arctic Bay, Clyde River, Grise Fiord and Resolute Bay. That's part of the Tallurutiup Imanga National Marine Conservation Area and the associated Inuit Impact and Benefit Agreement, which is meant to support local training and employment. The federal government's fall economic statement last week proposed $105.9 million over seven years, starting in 2025, for construction in Arctic Bay. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) expects it to be operational by 2031. "Community and commercial fishing, hunting, food supply, safety and security issues, transportation, tourism, and socialization will be enhanced at the community and regional level," DFO wrote in an email. DFO estimates the harbour will create roughly 60 to 150 jobs during the construction period, and $90 to $130 million in GDP. "This project will be publicly tendered as a set-aside project for firms on the Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. Inuit Firm Registry and will include Inuit Benefits Criteria," DFO said. Nunavut NDP MP Lori Idlout said the announcement has been a long-time coming. "Time and time again they keep neglecting the North unless forced to act. Now, we see the first steps and I won't stop pushing until the harbour is complete," she said. "Hunters and trappers in Nunavut feed their families and keep their culture alive." Construction of Clyde River's small craft harbour in September 2024. (Caitlin Joanas/CBC) Meanwhile in Clyde River, construction of a small craft harbour there is underway by Pilitak Enterprises. That's set to be operational by summer 2026. Pond Inlet, which was also a party to that conservation area agreement, opened their community harbour in 2022. The construction timelines for Grise Fiord and Resolute Bay remain unclear. According to the Nunavut Impact Review Board database , the Government of Nunavut partnered with Worley Consulting this year to support geotechnical studies for the two proposed community harbours.
