Canadians have long enjoyed vacations on Cuba’s pristine beaches and at its all-inclusive resorts. And why not? The country has warm weather that’s not far away, at an affordable cost. That’s why Canada is consistently the top source country for tourism to Cuba.
Holy shit, my sides hurt🤣🤣🤣

A study released by the Montreal Economic Institute estimates the federal government’s “Buy Canadian” policy could increase the cost of large infrastructure projects by more than $12 billion per year.
The study states that, among Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, total expenditures on public procurement accounted for 12.9 per cent of gross domestic product in 2021.
Ofcom has confirmed it is referring 4chan to a final enforcement decision under the Online Safety Act. The target is a Delaware company that runs an entirely anonymous imageboard from the United States, with no offices, staff, servers or assets in Britain. The demand: install age-verification systems and content filters so that British children cannot access the site or face daily fines levied from London on an American platform. This case is not an outlier. It is the clearest real-world demonstration of what the new generation of “online safety” laws requires: private companies must build automated filters that decide, in advance, which legal speech is too harmful for minors to see. The question the regulators never quite answer is simple: what exactly does the filter catch?
OTTAWA — In this episode, former senior Mountie Garry Clement joins Sam Cooper to answer a question that should unsettle every Canadian: how does a figure like Ryan Wedding — an Olympic athlete from Coquitlam — end up becoming one of the most feared Sinaloa Cartel operatives in North America? The answer, Clement argues, has less to do with Wedding himself than with the country that made his rise possible.
Twenty-five years after it was founded, Wikipedia stands as an unrivalled achievement. Not only is it the single largest collection of information in human history, it has also built a stellar reputation for reliability in a digital world awash with lies and deception.
For this reason, new AI tools have begun to carry the site’s contents far and wide. Chatbots and AI-generated search summaries – which are rapidly transforming the way people get their information – both use Wikipedia as a key source.
Now, we can reveal Wikipedia has been subject to shady, paid-for edits ordered by partners at an elite London PR firm with links to Downing Street. And the clients who benefitted from this “wikilaundering” are some of the world’s richest and most powerful people.
Good summary below
The “Wikilaundering” scandal is finally blowing wide open and it’s worse than we thought
A massive investigation by The Bureau of Investigative Journalism just exposed the ugly truth: Wikipedia is corrupt to its core

Canada’s former budget watchdog Yves Giroux says the government’s failure to appoint a new parliamentary budget officer after both his and his interim successor’s terms expired is a “conscious decision” to silence the office and prevent it from holding the government accountable.
The Strait of Hormuz, one of the most vital shipping routes in the world, has been closed by Iran since the US and Israel began their airstrikes last week. This event might not seem as newsworthy as the assasination of Ayatollah Khamenei and the potential demise of the Islamic Republic – but make no mistake, the consequences could be just as profound. Particularly for the UK.
And with one slick soundbite — we take the world as it is not as we wish it to be — Prime Minister Mark Carney gets to straddle whatever political or foreign fence he is confronted with.
Difficult choices and questions can all be deferred or deflected with this simple mantra.
Terrifying bodycam footage of Sunday’s mass shooting at a bar in downtown Austin shows cops take down pro-Iran terrorist Ndiaga Diagne after a fierce gun battle.
The video shows the deadly encounter from multiple angles in real time as officers traded gunfire with the Senegalese immigrant, who was wearing a “Property of Allah” sweatshirt and an Iran flag t-shirt.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to back American strikes against Iran has provoked much controversy. Even though he and several of his ministers partially walked back some of this initial enthusiastic support, the debate still raises difficult questions about what Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand refers to as principled pragmatism. Is Canada moving away from its allegedly traditional support for international law? How can Canada’s rhetorical support for the war in Iran, even if watered down, be reconciled with the principles Mr. Carney enounced in his speech in Davos in January? And how can these principles be reconciled with Mr. Carney declining to close the door on Canada’s eventual participation in the war?
Seven. That’s how many times Israel has invaded Lebanon since 1978, yet this latest incursion could prove the most momentous of all. Unlike previous assaults, changes inside Lebanon itself mean the IDF could finally achieve a long-cherished goal: the crushing of Hezbollah and a political realignment in Beirut that removes future threats to Israel’s security. That, in turn, could shift the balance of power right across the Levant, extending Israel’s influence, and Benjamin Netanyahu’s political legacy, yet further. Still, as always in the Middle East, what happens when the dust settles is a very different question, as is its impact on the lives of innocent civilians — especially when the Lebanese are unlikely to accept Israeli domination for long.
The passions and prejudices seep across the ocean, seemingly inescapable.
Time and distance do not temper them. In fact, the New World seems to breath new life into old hatreds turning the place that was left behind into an idyllic land of lollipops, puppies, peace and perfection.
Sikh-Canadian woman stabbed to death in Windsor was an outspoken critic of Khalistani extremism.
She recently made a video about a Khalistani linked to the Gurdwara trying to set her house on fire. Although she reported these threats to the cops they never followed up. pic.twitter.com/zyIphxgvwJ
