Canada said on Monday it plans to provide assistance to Cuba while the island grapples with fuel shortages after Washington moved to choke off Cuba’s oil supplies.
You really shouldn’t be getting downvoted on this. Sending $8 million dollars & no fuel is basically just a PR stunt for the politically shallow. It is bullshit.
They need a solution today, not in a few years. Today. The solution today is fuel, either via the blockade being ended or fuel aid being delivered. Canada is neither delivering fuel aid nor even calling out the blockade.
If the US succeeds in overthrowing their government, there’s a pretty good chance the electrification effort underway will be going in the bin.
I expected the downvotes . Lemmy communities about specific country are always over protective of their countries. They can’t accept a single criticism like cultists. They looks like fools to me
I mean, apparently they’re willing to go against the US on Cuba, per this article. It’s not specified which things Cuba needs they’ll be sending, but it’s something.
Like Canada claimed to oppose Iraq war while sharing intel with the Americans and providing naval and air support? Canada has always been a disgusting hypocritical country
There is a tariff threat to those who would help. It is disgusting in of itself, but everything Canada says/does is met with a tariff threat, and so we should call the bluff. Cuba is a much better place to visit than Florida, and Canadians are lucky to be one of the few who get to go there, and Cuba would be much better off if US lifted its oppression, but its important to not tolerate pure evil.
Pushing back against the US, or even contributing to its collapse, is the only path to respect for Canada. Doug Ford sucking every dick in Washington not only has it gotten him nothing, he had to apologize for daring to say that tariffs hurt everyone. While sound logic, the guys getting their dick sucked aren’t complaining, and don’t mind that he obeys orders to suck harder.
Good on you guys for having balls. Here in Estonia we can’t even move off fucking Microsoft Teams in government services because they’re all too busy sucking American cock (I mean the decisionmakers, not regular employees lol), I can’t imagine we’d ever do anything to upset Trump at this point.
Canada bullshiting again. What cuba need is fuel.
No. What they need is solar panels and factories for manufacturing batteries, so they never need fuel.
You really shouldn’t be getting downvoted on this. Sending $8 million dollars & no fuel is basically just a PR stunt for the politically shallow. It is bullshit.
They should get downvoted for ignorance. You cannot run a grid on solar and a few batteries.
Also, Cuba already has large solar farms. 92 of them near completion.

This doesn’t say they aren’t sending fuel.
It is pretty clear there is no fuel in the aid

There you go. As of OP being written that wasn’t public, though.
There is a fuel embargo. You really believe thst Canada would ignore it?
The US has an embargo, we don’t.
I would hope that we would continue to send fuel to them.
Trump threatened anybody who does it with tarrifs
The tariffs that were deamed invalid? Or the new tariffs that will also be deamed invalid?
You think the dictator in the making Trump will keep respecting the courts?
Has he ever? Not sure if he’s ever not failed to comply properly 😂
I want 0 trade with the Americans so that’s a good thing to me.
I mean Canada already has tariffs and their Trade Secretary is not backing down, even adding tariffs to the free trade agreements…

99% of the time I’d agree with you, but Canada is close enough to Cuba that I can see it happening.
If it was true it would have been mentionned in articles and in Anita annand statements

Canadian government uses Teams.
