It's war, aimed at causing widespread suffering among civilians. We should be standing up against it. All indications so far are that we won't do anything.

100% agree. Cuba deserves aid, and we should be investigating policy and alternatives that we can use to circumvent the resource war on Cuba to help them.

What they're suggesting would be a lot easier and cheaper if we still had a nationalized oil industry.

For young ones and new Canadians: FYI Petro-Canada was founded as a crown corporation and operated as such until 1991.

Doesn't even have to be fully nationalized, even owning just one national oil company like Petro-Canada was so that profits stay for Canadians and we have freedom to choose to do something like this.

Why stop at oil, why not forestry, mining, manufacturing, tech, real estate?

Alberta cant be the only one with their resources being redirected, wouldnt a full socialist utopia in every province be a fairer path?

Excellent point! We should do this to all our major industries

Canada should send a whole shitload of fuel down to Cuba. Haven't we been enjoying relatively cheap vacations for decades from this country? It's time to give back.

Pretty sure Cuba profited from CDN tourism.

[–] nik282000@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cuba as a country, sure. Individual people, not as much as they should.

The stage is set for Cuba to import solar panels and EVs from China as never before.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Cuba already has 25 solar farms completed in 2025. you can't run a 1950s Chevy or a jet on solar power.
