OK.
I stand corrected.
This decision to "assist" Cuba by "preparing a plan" by Carney's government has taken way to long. And how little or token will it be? Mexico has already sent meaningful humanitarian aid (800 tons of food & powered milk ) by ship 2 weeks ago. Canadians expect better. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

We know it.
Where's Canada's condemnation of the U.S. blockade to Cuba? Is this not an act of war under international law.....Also why not follow Mexico's lead and send emergency humanitarian aid to the Cuban people? Canadians expect better. www.msn.com/en-sg/news/o...

Given allegations of complicity in spreading child sex abuse materials & sexualized deepfakes - good to see New Brunswick government will stop using the platform X for “routine communications.”
Still waiting for other provinces & the Canadian government to follow. .. www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/new...

End of white hammock hanging in the trees. People scattered enjoying the shade on natural benches - with a row of palm trees in the distance - mostly see the very large majestic trunks.
Needed a break from the beach in this newest heat wave of + 32C days. My view from a hammock in Parque Rodo Montevideo Uruguay. A refreshing cooler breeze under the trees. www.plenglish.com/news/2024/01...

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully:
The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.
Really like the political music that has been showing up lately. Good for the soul.

One can only guess what's triggering him now. On Tuesday, Canada's PM Carney said "almost nothing was normal in the United States." Yep www.msn.com/en-ca/money/...
