Cuba running on fumes as fellow travelers in Canada consider sending relief to repressive communist regime

Cuba a Communist Shithole serves as a role model for the Liberal Party of Canada

The government of Canada says it is still thinking about whether to send humanitarian aid to Cuba, as the island confronts a looming disaster under an American oil embargo that is, in practice, a full blockade.

“Canada is monitoring the situation carefully and is concerned about the increasing risk of a humanitarian crisis on the island,” said Global Affairs Canada’s Charlotte MacLeod in a written statement shared with CBC News.

“As the situation continues to evolve, Canada is evaluating options to support Cuba’s most vulnerable people. Canada has a long-standing record of providing life-saving humanitarian assistance to Cuba in response to acute crises.”

The rise in transgender killers proves that we have a major mental health crisis unfolding

In what is becoming a regular occurrence, someone trans-identifying is accused of committing a mass murder, this time during a high school hockey game, in suburban Rhode Island.

Robert Dorgan, who preferred to be called Roberta, killed his ex-wife and one of his own children and shot three more people before turning a gun on himself.

In 2020, Dorgan had told police that he was being kicked out of his home, by his father-in-law, after Dorgan had undergone “gender-reassignment surgery.”

More than 1 in 5 Canadians now works for government—and the share is rising

When Statistics Canada released the latest Labour Force Survey earlier this month, the headlines were predictable. The unemployment rate fell to 6.5 percent. Overall employment edged down by 25,000. The coverage, as it almost always does, mostly stopped there.

But buried several tables into the same release is a figure that deserves considerably more attention. In January 2026, 4.597 million Canadians worked in the public sector—all employees of federal, provincial, and local governments, government agencies, Crown corporations, and publicly funded establishments like schools, universities, and hospitals.

That represents 21.8 percent of everyone employed in Canada. It is a percentage that has been quietly climbing for five years, and it puts Canada on a trajectory back toward territory last occupied before the fiscal consolidations of the 1990s.

Palace ‘terrified’ Andrew could have shared secrets of defence deals

Keir Starmer has had a pretty torrid couple of months but, as the curtain comes down on another turbulent week, not even Donald Trump attacking the Chagos Islands deal again, or the exposure of how the pressure group that got Starmer elected was smearing journalists, compares with the turmoil in the royal household.

The Prime Minister waits anxiously to see what further demons are released from the Pandora’s box of the Epstein files, but for now No. 10 has done what it can to cauterise the wound by disposing of Peter Mandelson. There remains frustration in Downing Street that the police have not moved more quickly to let them release the files, but many were grateful when the spotlight shifted elsewhere with the arrest yesterday of the prince formerly known as Andrew on his 66th birthday.

Former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld ordered to pay $750K for violating Human Rights Code

Former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld has been ordered to pay $750,000 by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal for violating the Human Rights Code with “heated public speech” exposing LGBTQ people to hatred or contempt. The tribunal issued its final decision this week, issuing two sets of costs orders in the matter of the BCTF (on behalf of) the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association v. Neufeld, one ordering the payment of $750,000 in costs to the CTA, and a concurrent order of $10,000 for improper conduct during the lengthy process.

The Worst Possible Gift: A Dangerous Lifeline Deal to Iran’s Regime

There is one thing the Iranian regime needs now more than anything else — something upon which its survival may depend. That lifeline is a deal.

Precisely for that reason, at this moment of maximum pressure, President Donald J. Trump’s offering Tehran an agreement — especially one that provides sanctions relief, legitimacy, or breathing room — could become the single most consequential mistake of the century.

GUNTER: Crafty move by Alberta premier on referendum questions

Wow, that was a welcome change of direction for federalism, which has for decades now been drifting towards a stronger central government and weaker provincial governments.

The central theme of Premier Danielle Smith’s address to the province on Thursday evening was rebalancing Confederation, giving the provinces more control over matters that affect them most, such as health, education, immigration and judicial appointments.

U.S. Intelligence Says at Least 15,000 at Large After ISIS Detention Camp Collapses in Syria

U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that 15,000 to 20,000 people, including Islamic State affiliates are now at large in Syria, after an exodus from a camp that held jihadists’ families, U.S. officials familiar with the estimate said.

Security experts have long warned that the wives of Islamic State fighters were effectively raising the next generation of militants at the sprawling Al-Hol facility. Security at the camp fell apart in recent weeks after Syria’s government routed the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, which had guarded Al-Hol for years, raising concerns about the release of people who might have become radicalized during the years held behind the razor wire.

Amy Hamm: Misgendering case an absurd waste of time and resources

An Ontario court has ruled that the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) must hold a new hearing, with a different adjudicator, in the case of a Black trans man who complained of discrimination based on gender identity and gender expression at a walk-in medical clinic.

Jordan Renae Thorne originally filed an HRTO complaint alleging he was “repeatedly misgendered” by a physician and an office assistant at a walk-in clinic in December 2017.

Inside the Trump administration’s efforts to pressure Cuba’s communist regime out

The Trump administration has escalated its pressure against Cuba’s communist government, curbing oil supplies and threatening tariffs on countries that continue to ship fuel to the island as part of an effort to force regime change.

Since the United States captured former Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro in January, the Trump administration has turned its focus on Cuba.

CHARLEBOIS: The high cost of doing food business in Canada

With Tuesday’s release of new data from Statistics Canada, the conclusion is unequivocal: for the second consecutive month, Canada is posting the highest food inflation rate among G7 countries. Food inflation now stands at 7.3%.

Beef, nuts, pork, and even chicken are between 5% and 7% more expensive than a year ago. The only relief comes from eggs and fresh fruit, which are cheaper on a year-over-year basis.

Was Climate Change the Greatest Financial Scandal in History?

Environmental scholar Bjorn Lomborg recently calculated that across the globe, governments have spent at least $16 trillion feeding the climate change industrial complex.

And for what?

Arguably, not a single life has been or will be saved by this shameful and colossal misallocation of human resources. The war on safe and abundant fossil fuels has cost countless lives in poor countries and made those countries poorer by blocking affordable energy.

How Trump plans to continue his trade war with Canada without IEEPA

U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to ramp up his use of sector-based duties and others after the Supreme Court ruled against a swath of his existing tariffs on Friday, raising new risks for a Canadian economy that’s struggled mightily with duties that target specific industries.

Sectoral tariffs implemented under Section 232 of the U.S. Trade Expansion Act of 1962 – including those on autos, steel and aluminum – have delivered the harshest blow to Canada, because most other products continue to trade tariff-free under a crucial exemption.
