Any Canadian who has been to Cuba could tell you the warmth and humour of the people there. Canada is not a benevolent ally to Cuba but our the relationship between our countries is being thrown away without a second thought. It's truly disgraceful.
Air Canada says its immediate priority "is to return customers already in Cuba to Canada."

It’s darkly funny how Ontario has had a malevolent oaf constantly embroiled in scandal leading the province for nearly 10 years and one of the main reasons he’s unstoppable is because this is our opposition.
The Ontario Liberal Party says it will select a new leader on Nov. 21, an announcement that kicks off its third leadership race since 2020. #OnPoli

“Luddites were slandered as being anti-tech, we should be critical of tech and push back against it to make applications productive for human dignity.”
Okay agreed but I actually think we should go back to like 70s era technology. Phones, newspapers, no 24/7 news channels. I am a firm believer.

Exclusive: Centrist Dems strike back with new group
It's the latest effort by moderate Democrats to shape national politics and expand their influence.

This will seriously disrupt aid getting into the county. Any country that even wants to pretend to care about Cuba and sovereignty needs to bring jet fuel to Cuba immediately
Cuban government has informed airlines that they only have about 24 hours worth of fuel left for planes.
Beyond the obvious damage that suddenly shutting down any country's air travel would have, a not at all small % of food and medicine in Cuba comes by luggage on airlines

The right-wing outrage machine is working overtime on Bad Bunny’s performance cause they need to continually act like the aggrieved party. Whatever actual feelings they have about it is secondary to the performative anger about it. These people are pathetic.

Been watching Sahara (1943) and it’s phenomenal but there’s weird race politics (unsurprisingly). You’re telling me a Black British Sudanese soldier joined a group with an American from Texas and a white guy from South Africa and I’m supposed to believe the captured Nazi is the only racist one?

Two years ago today one of the best throwback punk albums dropped: “What A Fucking Nightmare” by The Chisel. If you’re into 1980s ragers then it’s a must listen.

I’m currently at ~40,000 words in my book; most of which will probably be re-written at some point. Anyway my point is my writing is improving through this process. If I could generate a book in a day it would be incredibly shitty with no incentive to hone my work. Just a system of garbage.

Hard not to sound like a conspiracy theorist nowadays.
Jeffrey Epstein died on August 10th. In the Epstein files, there is what appears to be a draft DOJ press release announcing his death that is dated August 9th.
(It’s here: www.justice.gov/epstein/file...)

The release on Saturday, August 10th appears to have two differences. The date, and the addition of “of an apparent suicide” www.justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr...

The left is not immune to grifting, folks.
Charlie is willfully misleading his followers. The article literally says the decision about whether to purchase the F-35 is deeply political and that Canadians prefer the Gripen, but that pilots still need to be trained on them which is where the politics falls away.
CBC continues to scold Canadians on the need to keep our "politics" out of the discussion on whether we get strong-armed into buying the F-35.
Lol... the F-35 is all about politics.
It is the politics of threat and intimidation against our independence.
