Cuba says Trump’s fresh sanctions on its economy amount to ‘collective punishment’

Cuba’s government has said new sanctions imposed on the island by Donald Trump amounted to “collective punishment”, as an enormous 1 May procession outside the American embassy in Havana vowed to “defend the homeland”.

In an executive order on Friday, the US president said he would impose sanctions on people involved in broad sections of the Cuban economy, as he seeks to put more pressure on Havana after ousting Venezuela’s leader, Nicolás Maduro, earlier this year.

The latest sanctions constituted “collective punishment” of the nation’s people, said Cuba’s foreign minister, Bruno Rodriguez. “We firmly reject the recent unilateral coercive measures adopted by the #UnitedStates government,” he posted on X in English.

Why the families of Tumbler Ridge shooting victims may face ‘difficult’ issues with OpenAI lawsuits

The families of victims of the Tumbler Ridge, B.C., school shooting who are suing OpenAI could face some significant legal hurdles in their attempt to hold the artificial intelligence company partially responsible for the attack.

“As with so much in AI, the lawsuit takes us into unchartered territory,” said Robin Feldman, director of the AI Law & Innovation Institute at UC Law San Francisco.

Feldman said there a number of legal issues that the court will have to grapple with that will be “difficult for the plaintiffs,” who allege OpenAI failed to warn police about the shooter’s interactions with the company’s chatbot ChatGPT.

‘Destroyed in less than a year’: Granville St. SRO resident wants public to see conditions

As the province prepares to close the Luugat single-room occupancy (SRO) building on Vancouver’s Granville Street by the end of June, it appears BC Housing doesn’t want the public to see inside the former hotel that taxpayers paid millions of dollars to convert to supportive housing during COVID.

“I’m happy to get out of there,” Luugat resident Stewart Holcombe said with a chuckle Friday.

How was this allowed to happen?

Some pro-Palestinian protests could be banned amid attacks on British Jews

Some pro-Palestinian demonstrations could be stopped, the prime minister has warned, as the UK’s most senior police officer said the threat to the Jewish community was greater than it had ever been.

Keir Starmer indicated he wanted the language expressed on some protest marches to be subjected to “tougher action” as he sought to allay the fears of British Jews after a series of attacks on their communities in recent weeks.

“When you see, when you hear some of those chants – ‘globalise the intifada’ the one that I would pick out – then clearly there should be tougher action in relation to that,” Starmer told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.

I doubt GB has the means or the will to ban the Islamist marches.

U.S Troop Withdrawal Expands Yawning Rift Between U.S. and Europe

BERLIN—German officials shrugged off President Trump’s decision to withdraw 5,000 U.S. troops from the country as symbolic, but analysts warned the broader trans-Atlantic rift risks leaving Europe’s economy and security dangerously exposed.

Trump’s latest increase in tariffs on European cars, his apparent U-turn on plans to station long-range missiles in Germany and the economic and military fallout from the war in Iran will have a bigger impact on the region, they warned.

“All of these are a bigger deal than a symbolic 5K-troop reduction,” said Thorsten Benner, director of the Global Public Policy Institute, a Berlin security think tank. “So is the rapid depletion of U.S. arsenals due to wasting enormous amounts of precious assets in the Iran war.”

Trump’s trade czar tells Canadians that ‘America First’ is policy, not a slogan: sources

United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told Canadians looking for insights into the future of bilateral trade this week that “America First” is policy, not a slogan, and they should not expect a return to the way things were.

Sources who attended a roundtable with U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade czar in Washington on Wednesday told The Canadian Press that Greer was measured and pragmatic as he laid out the administration’s policy goals ahead of the coming review of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico-Agreement on trade, better known as CUSMA.

Of course we should be deporting America-hating noncitizens

New York magazine recently published an overwrought essay penned by pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil, who contends his life has been turned into a nightmare since being “abducted by ICE” for deportation.

Khalil is a forever student and former spokesman for the Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a group that targets Jewish students and engages in rioting and other revolutionary activity. To give you a sense of the group’s oeuvre, it brags about fighting for the “total eradication of Western civilization,” advocates “global intifada,” and supports the “armed resistance” of Hamas, an organization designated as a terrorist group by the Justice Department.

Praising a separatist, Avi Lewis sinks to less than zero

We now have the final seat counts for the federal NDP in Canada’s two biggest provinces, Ontario and Quebec.

Zero and zero.

Let’s not fault the new party leader, Avi Lewis, for the Ontario shutout. That happened in last year’s federal election, long before he took the job.

The shambles in Quebec came before him too. But it now bears Lewis’s shambolic imprint.

Hamas’s Flotilla Farce Exposed

On April 30, 2026, Israeli naval forces intercepted 22 vessels from the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters northwest of Crete, more than 1,000 kilometers from Gaza. The 58-boat fleet sailed from Barcelona with around 175 activists from dozens of countries. Israel disabled engines and communications to avert escalation, offered to route any real supplies through Ashdod for inspection, and released most participants to Greek authorities within 24 hours. Only two steering committee members faced transfer to Israel for questioning: Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Ávila.

This operation exposed the mission as theater. Israeli officials released footage showing that the humanitarian cargo consisted mainly of preservatives and drugs. These items offered zero relief for Gaza’s genuine needs.

Carney Trade Deal Pals China, India among countries active in foreign interference and spying in Canada, CSIS says

Canada’s spy agency says five countries, including China and India, remain the main perpetrators of foreign interference and espionage in this country despite all being singled out in a public inquiry into these activities.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service also identified Russia, Iran and Pakistan as countries that engage in foreign meddling and spying in Canada.

I am starting to believe that the Carney government allows these foreign powers free range for special considerations in return.

US to cut troop levels in Germany by 5,000 amid Trump spat with Merz

The US Department of Defence plans to withdraw 5,000 troops from Germany, amid a spat between US President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz over the war with Iran.

The decision comes a day after Trump criticised Merz, who suggested the US had been “humiliated” by Iranian negotiators.

In social media posts on Thursday, Trump said Merz was “doing a terrible job” and had “problems of all kinds”, including on immigration and energy. Trump has also suggested pulling US troops from Italy and Spain.
