Algoma layoffs, hidden fire in a Toronto highrise, WHO on GLPs, and more

Algoma Steel is laying off about a thousand workers — roughly a third of its workforce. The company is pointing to the effects of U.S. tariffs. But it also had government help: half a billion dollars that was supposed to keep workers on the job.

And: A fire has been burning through a Toronto highrise complex for more than four days now. But no one can see it. It’s smouldering between the concrete walls of two connected buildings, posing an especially complex challenge to firefighters.

Also: For the first time, the World Health Organization is recommending GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic as a treatment for obesity. It’s a condition that affects millions, and costs billions. But how much medications can help will depend in part on who can get access.

Plus: Officials in Manitoba begin another painstaking search in another landfill for the remains of two Indigenous women, the Trump administration faces accusations of war crimes in connection to strikes on an alleged Caribbean drug boat, and more.
