  • The U.S. delegation last week proposed bringing Starlink satellite internet to the island and allowing free connectivity. It also urged the Cuban regime to make economic changes to attract foreign capital, grow the private sector and transition to a market-based economy.

    Here’s the thing tho … if Cuba voluntarily decided to change its whole economy on its own - that’s fine. But for tRump to arbitrarily force it on Cubans is pretty fucked up.

    I’m hoping that if the orange asshole starts rattling his sabers that the rest of the world would jump in to protect Cuba’s ability to choose on its own how it wants its country to operate.




















  • After all, the government has been dropping hints it would do something like this since the two UCP-appointed members of the five-member commission came up with a minority report that would slice the province’s cities into pizza pies of “rurban” ridings, diluting the NDP’s vote. The thin edge of the slice would reach into urban areas, where the NDP is stronger, with the riding’s design ensuring they would be outnumbered by rural voters.

    I would hope Albertans would recognize this as Marlaina robbing them of their democratic voting rights, but I won’t hold my breath.
