Especially if it angers the US. FTFY.
Fuck the US, help Cuba.
Only 51 percent?
Whelp, at least it’s a majority.
And by aid, we mean solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries.
Not oil. They don't need oil.
They do in the short term, but I agree that transitioning off oil as fast as possible should be the goal.
Yeah. Lemmy sure does love shoehorning their pet issues in, regardless of how impractical sending wind turbines to Cuba is right now.
In 1984 this is how Canada helped a country
I don't know, I just feel tremendously nostalgic today. Next I'll look up Terry Fox again...
remember, the media is owned by BILLIONAIRES - the intent is to report in such a way as to FORM OUR OPINIONS
Of course it's higher than 51%, but they "adjust" their results to weaken our collective resolve
The time of very close french haircuts for the predator elite ruling class is approaching, and they know it
Stay strong hosers
Sure, it definitely is actually what you want it to be. Anything else is a conspiracy. /s
It's important to recognize media bias.
But it's equally important to not let our own bias discredit it.
They should do it BECAUSE it angers the US.
that number is actually shockingly low.
what do you mean 49% of canadians want cubans to starve to death? this shit is horrible.
There's a variety of other reasons possible, given that withholding aid doesn't mean every Cuban starves, or even that many more. It will worsen conditions, but that's a pretty typical tactic to put pressure on a government.
People who think the Cuban government is great are a tiny minority.
many cubans are already starving regardless of canadian's pretty little feelings about their government. withholding aid is just cruel.
Eh. Sudan needs it way more. And probably still Gaza, even though the media has moved on.
Regardless of your "pretty little feelings" about Cuba.
canada is rich and influential enough to substantially help all three, if they really wanted to.
Major roadblocks to empathy are:
- Poverty
- Lack of education
- Fear
Unfortunately all are things politicians (especially from certain parties) are prone to intentionally exacerbating.
Not without coincidence, these things are also major roadblocks for ditching religion.
I think that's correct, it's hard to empathize on an empty belly and rent due in a week. Number 2 leads to 1 in many cases because we have a bizarre society. 3 comes from perpetual 1 and 2.
Many people are struggling and "sending money overseas" has been pointed out as a main culprit (despite it being a minor contributor compared to so many other factors)
As an American, please do so. Cuba didn't deserve to be bullied.
Brains exploding in the Toronto Sun comment section of this article:
james ross · 11 HRS AGO FAKE POLLS - fake government Don't believe a word they say.....
Jim G · 12 HRS AGO I don't believe these polls or any polls in Canada anymore. We need to provide aid to our own citizens that need it.
Revel Wolfe · 12 HRS AGO Just stop this madness. 51 million to Ukraine, 8 million to Cuba, how about we simply spend all this wealth on i dunno, Canadians?
del hansen · 14 HRS AGO Looks like a liberal convoy in Havana, no prosecution necessary all on the up and up.
Brian Lloyd · 14 HRS AGO I don't get why Canadians find ok to support Communism in Cuba.
It's kinda incredible that so much people haven't bought the pro/US propaganda on Cuba given how much of it rains down on us.
News site comment sections seem to be exclusively used by the most knuckle-dragging boomers. CBC has the same problem.
And I guarantee you none of those fuckers want the money "saved" to actually be spent on needy Canadians. They want tax breaks because they're "needy".
The same people who vote to cut, not grow, social programs are asking for social programs?
I think what they really want is to be miserable fucks.
Those aren't people. They're foreign actors trying to sway public opinion.
The coolest Canadians I ever met were when I was on holiday in Cuba.
How many of those are actual Canadians (never mind Torontonians) vs bots, agitators, or retirees that haven't stepped foot in Canada in years.
I hope those figures are inaccurate ... that can't really be all we've sent to Ukraine, can it?
We need to provide aid to our own citizens that need it
Something tells me they aren't interested in helping needy Canadians in any capacity.
Yikes! I hope you had a shower after going through there. Lol
🤣
Seems like a bonus really.
Countries obviously need to be sending food and medical supplies.
But rather than sending oil, countries sending aid should be sending equipment for setting up solar farms, so that the USA can never do this to them again.
Obviously they still need some oil in the short term, but China has so much solar production, and are allied with cuba, I'm surprised they're not getting massive shipments of solar panels and battery banks.
me too
anybody who's not morally bankrupt should support doing everything possible to prevent people of Cuba from being starved
Sure. US anger, irritation, and emotional problems are their own to deal with, not Canadians.
But only Russia actually sent the oil Cuba needs.
They don't need oil. They need energy, and oil is the worst form of energy.
They need oil and gas because like the rest of the world most of their country infrastructure runs on it
Nope. No need. Just want.
So far
Probably that many Americans want this too. Even if it angers the 30% of racists morons we’re saddled with.
The way things are going, Canada should be sending aid to the US.
Hmmm. But I guess there would be a tariff on that....
Only to anger the US, more than to help?
49% of Canadians support sending aid to Cuba in order to anger the us
