Joe Phelan/Kennebec Journal file Lion Electric, the company that supplied faulty electric buses to schools in Maine, is on the brink of bankruptcy, Montreal’s La Presse reported Monday . The Quebec-based company supplied at least 17 electric buses through the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection’s Clean School Bus grant to schools in Maine, with four in the Winthrop Public Schools. A bus from Lion Electric, acquired by Winthrop schools under the federal Clean School Bus Program, is parked near Winthrop Middle School in December 2023. Joe Phelan/Kennebec Journal file photo Lion Electric reportedly had until Nov. 30 to pay a $22 million loan from two Canadian investors, along with another $117 million loan taken out through a bank, but the deadlines have been pushed to Dec. 16. The company also has a long-term debt of $293 million, the news outlet said, further reporting that the public company might leave the stock exchange. Now, the company reported on Dec. 1 that it laid off 400 employees, nearly half of its workforce, and has two weeks to close a deal with investors or else Lion Electric might have to seek protection from its creditors under Canadas’ Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA), similar to bankruptcy in the U.S., according to the newspaper. Lion Electric did not respond to a Kennebec Journal reporter’s inquiry on how the potential bankruptcy will affect the buses stationed in Maine. The electric buses experienced a multitude of issues in the past two years, including a sideline from the Maine Department of Education after several school district’s transportation directors experienced power steering failures while operating the vehicles. The school buses continue to have issues , including a recent part recall that has caused the Winthrop Public School board to reconsider putting students on the bus. Becky Foley, interim superintendent of the Winthrop Public Schools, said she has not heard from Lion about the potential bankruptcy of the company and that the board will take up the issue at Wednesday night’s school board meeting. In light of the buses issues, the company told school districts in Maine that it planned to hire a local technician to help with the problems. A Lion Electric spokesperson did not respond last week to neither of a Kennebec Journal reporter’s attempts for comment on the technician, nor a previous inquiry about the company’s financial situation, as the company laid off a separate round of employees in mid-November. Since November 2023, the company has gone from 1,350 employees to just 300, La Presse reported, and put itself up for sale on Nov. 18. The layoffs will affect workers at Lion Electric’s assembly plant in Illinois, as the manufacturing operations were suspended Monday . Lion Electric has school buses in the Winthrop Public Schools, Yarmouth Public Schools, Eastern Maine School System, Bingham-area Maine School Administrative District 13, Five Town Community School District, Mount Desert Island Regional School System, Sipyack Elementary School and Vinalhaven Regional School Unit 8.

Hezbollah leaders also signaled tentative backing for the U.S.-brokered deal, which offers both sides an off-ramp from hostilities that have driven more than 1.2 million Lebanese and 50,000 Israelis from their homes. An intense bombing campaign by Israel has killed more than 3,700 people, many of them civilians, Lebanese officials say. But while the deal, set to take effect early Wednesday, could significantly calm the tensions that have inflamed the region, it does little directly to resolve the much deadlier war that has raged in Gaza since the Hamas attack on southern Israel in October 2023 that killed 1,200 people. Hezbollah, which began firing scores of rockets into Israel the following day in support of Hamas, has previously said it would keep fighting until there was a stop to the fighting in Gaza. Here’s what to know about the tentative ceasefire agreement and its potential implications: The terms of the deal The agreement reportedly calls for a 60-day halt in fighting that would see Israeli troops retreat to their side of the border while requiring Hezbollah to end its armed presence in a broad swath of southern Lebanon. President Joe Biden said Tuesday that the deal is set to take effect at 4 a.m. local time on Wednesday (9 p.m. EST Tuesday). Under the deal, thousands of Lebanese troops and U.N. peacekeepers are to deploy to the region south of the Litani River. An international panel lead by the U.S. would monitor compliance by all sides. Biden said the deal “was designed to be a permanent cessation of hostilities.” Israel has demanded the right to act should Hezbollah violate its obligations. Lebanese officials have rejected writing that into the proposal. Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz insisted Tuesday that the military would strike Hezbollah if the U.N. peacekeeping force, known as UNIFIL , does not provide “effective enforcement” of the deal. Lingering uncertainty A Hezbollah leader said the group's support for the deal hinged on clarity that Israel would not renew its attacks. “After reviewing the agreement signed by the enemy government, we will see if there is a match between what we stated and what was agreed upon by the Lebanese officials,” Mahmoud Qamati, deputy chair of Hezbollah’s political council, told the Qatari satellite news network Al Jazeera. “We want an end to the aggression, of course, but not at the expense of the sovereignty of the state” of Lebanon, he said. The European Union’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, said Tuesday that Israel’s security concerns had been addressed in the deal also brokered by France. Where the fighting has left both sides After months of cross-border bombings, Israel can claim major victories, including the killing of Hezbollah’s top leader, Hassan Nasrallah, most of his senior commanders and the destruction of extensive militant infrastructure. A complex attack in September involving the explosion of hundreds of walkie-talkies and pagers used by Hezbollah was widely attributed to Israel, signaling a remarkable penetration of the militant group. The damage inflicted on Hezbollah has come not only in its ranks, but to the reputation it built by fighting Israel to a stalemate in the 2006 war. Still, its fighters managed to put up heavy resistance on the ground, slowing Israel’s advance while continuing to fire scores of rockets, missiles and drones across the border each day. The ceasefire offers relief to both sides, giving Israel’s overstretched army a break and allowing Hezbollah leaders to tout the group’s effectiveness in holding their ground despite Israel’s massive advantage in weaponry. But the group is likely to face a reckoning, with many Lebanese accusing it of tying their country’s fate to Gaza’s at the service of key ally Iran, inflicting great damage on a Lebanese economy that was already in grave condition. No answers for Gaza Until now, Hezbollah has insisted that it would only halt its attacks on Israel when it agreed to stop fighting in Gaza. Some in the region are likely to view a deal between the Lebanon-based group and Israel as a capitulation. In Gaza, where officials say the war has killed more than 44,000 Palestinians, Israel’s attacks have inflicted a heavy toll on Hamas, including the killing of the group’s top leaders. But Hamas fighters continue to hold scores of Israeli hostages, giving the militant group a bargaining chip if indirect ceasefire negotiations resume. Hamas is likely to continue to demand a lasting truce and a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza in any such deal. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas offered a pointed reminder Tuesday of the intractability of the war, demanding urgent international intervention. “The only way to halt the dangerous escalation we are witnessing in the region, and maintain regional and international stability, security and peace, is to resolve the question of Palestine,” he said in a speech to the U.N. read by his ambassador.
