🇨🇺 Donations of food and medicine for Cuba were collected and sorted in Woodbridge, Ontario today, as part of today’s Day of Action for Cuba. I heard about the collection efforts of the Sri Lankan community.

The Canadian solidarity movement with Cuba in Toronto, met member of parliament @JDzerowicz to express their concern about the effects of the #USA blockade on Cuba.

#Cuba | The education maintains its strategic priority and guarantees the continuity of the school year until July, despite the limitations stemming from the energy crisis and the tightening of the economic blockade imposed by the United States. telesurenglish.net/cuba-updates-s…

“Even under the 60year blockade, if economic success is measured by the concrete conditions of human life, Cuba’s economy worked well. Its record in achieving very high literacy, life expectancy, health outcomes, and other welfare benchmarks is well-known” rabble.ca/economy/how-to…

NBC interviewer: "President Trump says he believes Cuba will collapse on its own" The Cuban foreign minister: ".. then why does the US govt need to employ so many resources.. to try to destroy [our] economy?" 🎯

🚨After 29 hours, our electrical system is fully operational again. In Latin America, it can take weeks to restore national electrical grids. The fact that Cuban electrical workers accomplished this in such short time is a testament to the tenacity, and ingenuity of our people.

¡Qué viva Cuba! 🇨🇺 The first delegation of the Nuestra América Convoy has arrived in Havana from Europe, carrying more than four tonnes of critical medical aid.

#Cuba organized a commemorative event at @UN for the 12th anniversary of the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as a #ZoneOfPeace. Attendees reaffirmed their commitment to dialogue, cooperation, and respect for international law.

this is amazing. In 1963 a deranged "journalist" asks JFK why he won't block Soviet oil to Cuba because "Castro would not be able to survive two weeks" without it. JFK answers because that would obviously constitute an act of war. Now the Trump-Epstein regime is actively blocking ships delivering oil, and the entire Western media class launders it as perfectly normal and just. They're literally enacting the murderous starvation war policy going back to the start of the revolution, and the entire world is just sitting there and looking at it while the Western media and political class launders it and salivates over how great and awesome it is as they talk about "human rights" and "sovereignty".

As a citizen of Canada, I express my condemnation and indignation that Canada has announced just $8 million in food assistance to Cuba—while providing $2 BILLION in military aid to Ukraine this year alone. Even while claiming to help Cuba, the Canadian government refuses to acknowledge the genocidal U.S. economic blockade as the source of the country’s hardship. This is not solidarity, it’s a PR damage-control operation. Cuba requires fuel and Canada has the capacity to send it.

Cuban people believe in solidarity. The Cuban family deserve to live in peace.

During a televised address earlier this month, Cuba’s President Miguel Díaz-Canel told the nation that during daylight hours, 38% of Cuba’s electricity is now generated from solar power.

🇨🇺 Ambassador of Cuba to Canada Rodrigo Malmierca Diaz on how the United States is suffocating an entire population, in his address to the Canadian Parliament’s Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development “Without energy, every aspect of life in a country is affected.” “The objective of this oil blockade is clear: to create a humanitarian crisis and try to force regime change through it.” “The collective punishment of a whole nation is an unjustifiable crime. One may disagree with the country’s political project, but there is no right whatsoever that justifies a great power — based on its economic and military might — interfering in its internal affairs, violating its independence. Much less acceptable is a superpower attempting to achieve its objectives by suffocating an entire people.”

Conozca a los niños cubanos que el imperio #USA y sus Cipayos quieren matar de hambre y necesidades para demostrar que "el régimen" no funciona. #Cuba #CDRCuba #CubaVencerá

Really good read: “Cuba asserted the radical proposition that a small, formerly colonised country could chart its own path, control its own resources, and prioritise social justice over foreign capital.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/cuba-m…

On Saturday, February 21st the @cdnntwrkoncuba organized several Rallys to protest about the last measures took by @realDonaldTrump administration against the Cuban people. Many cuban residents are participating. #Toronto #Windsor #Edmonton #Manitoba #Vancouver #Victoria

The Executive Board of @UNICEF approved the Country Program #Cuba 2026-2030 to strengthen the comprehensive protection of children and adolescents 🇨🇺. Broad international support confirmed the commitment to Cuban children, while the US was isolated as the only vote against.
