The US has declared Cuba an "unusual and extraordinary threat", authorising new sanctions and tightening its illegal blockade.
Trump is trying to starve Cuba into submission — and millions of people will suffer.
This is economic warfare, plain and simple. Hands off Cuba!

Check the PQ (like CAQ and liberals) desire for more data centers in Quebec (with or without “sovereignty”)
