Rubio says Cuba is threat to US as Havana accuses him of ‘lies’

Cuba poses a “national security threat” to the US and the likelihood of a peaceful agreement is “not high”, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said.

His comments come just a day after the US charged Cuba’s former president Raúl Castro with murder over the 1996 downing of two planes resulting in the killing of US nationals.

Rubio said Washington’s preference was “a diplomatic solution” but warned that President Donald Trump had the right and obligation to protect his country against any threat.

Canadian regulator triples US streamers’ financial contributions to Canadian content

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Large online streaming services must contribute 15% of their Canadian revenues to Canadian content, the country’s federal broadcast regulator said Thursday.

That figure is three times the 5% initial contribution requirement the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission, CRTC, set out in 2024, which is being challenged in court by U.S.-based major streamers, including Apple, Amazon and Spotify.

The CRTC made the decision as part of its implementation of the Online Streaming Act, which the U.S. has identified as a trade irritant ahead of trade negotiations with Canada.

Thanks Carney, you sure a master negotiator.

Trump’s free speech tsar: We’re flooded by complaints from Britons

British citizens are flocking to a website set up by the Trump administration to bypass online-safety laws because they are living under a government “hostile to freedom of speech”, a senior US official has said.

Sarah Rogers, the under-secretary for public diplomacy and public affairs at the State Department, said freedom.gov had received significant interest from British users.

FLANAGAN: The residential schools ‘graves’ narrative lives on — despite zero verified finds

May 27 of this year will be the fifth anniversary of the shocking announcement that the unmarked graves of 215 missing children had been found on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School. But the announcement turned out to be a nothing-burger. On the third anniversary, the band’s leadership admitted that ground penetrating radar (GPR) had found only “soil anomalies” that were “potential” graves.

‘Here is your holocaust. We burned them like a barbecue’

Distinguishable by his long hair and extreme brutality, RSF commander Abu Lulu became the public face of the October 2025 massacre in al-Fashir, Sudan, after broadcasting numerous videos of himself slaughtering unarmed civilians.

In one video, the commander stands in front of a cowering group of men, aiming his gun at them imposingly.

One by one, the paramilitary fighter proceeds to shoot the group of nine at point-blank range, leaving their bodies in a heap on the ground as soldiers cheer and chant his name.

GOLDSTEIN: Northland Tales a gutless attempt at satire aimed at wrong targets

On a topic that literally lends itself to satire — the continuing failure of successive federal governments to improve the lives of Canada’s Indigenous people no matter how much taxpayer money they throw at the problem — the CBC and APTN entertainment divisions chickened out.

Manitoba’s Record Drug Bust Reveals a Snow Cartel Network Built to Outlast A Former Olympian — and Canada’s Failure to Stop It

OTTAWA — Winnipeg police announced Wednesday what they called the largest drug bust in Manitoba history: 33 people arrested, 174 criminal charges, more than 525 kilograms of cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl seized, $825,000 in cash recovered, and a two-year investigation — Project Puma — that required 14 partner agencies spanning four provinces. The numbers are staggering. They are also, by the assessment of the lead investigator himself, incomplete.

The Democrat Party Correctly Rejects Its Useless 2024 Post-Mortem

I agree with the Democrat Party.

After they lost the presidential election in 2024, Democrats commissioned an after-action report that was supposed to explain where they had gone wrong. This week, DNC Chair Ken Martin rejected the report, explaining his decision online: “I am not proud of this product; it does not meet my standards, and it won’t meet your standards. I don’t endorse what’s in this report, or what’s left out of it. I could not in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on it.” He’s not wrong.

As watchmakers go, Swatch has been one of the most creative. One can now buy a men’s or women’s Swatch for anywhere from $65 to $250, either from thousands of department stores and specialty shops or from online vendors, or even from the 220 official Swatch branded stores all over the world.

Big Tech’s big data-centre problem

In April, the Big Four tech firms – Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft – pledged to invest a combined $725 billion in AI infrastructure over the next year. The rosy global future these companies envision is fuelled by a never-ending expansion of data centres. These are massive banks of microchips which require vast energy sources to power them, and large reservoirs of water to cool them.
