Russia Points Finger at U.S. as Cuba’s Fuel Crisis Escalates

Tricycle cabs wait for their turn to pick up clients as Cubans brace for fuel scarcity measures in Havana. Cuba is grappling with a severe fuel shortage that has disrupted transportation, strained public services, and forced the government to tighten rationing measures. The Kremlin has described the situation as “critical,” arguing that U.S. sanctions are largely to blame for the island’s deepening energy emergency. Russian officials claim Washington’s long‑standing restrictions are designed to “suffocate” Cuba by limiting its access to fuel imports and financial channels. Moscow says it remains in close contact with Havana and is exploring ways to support its ally as the crisis intensifies. Meanwhile, Cuban authorities warn that the coming weeks may bring further disruptions as supplies continue to dwindle.

Tiny Homes for the Homeless: A Controversial Solution in Toronto

 

The City of Toronto has requested the removal of tiny shelters for homeless individuals from St. James Park. These shelters, built by the non-profit organization Tiny Tiny Homes, were designed to provide temporary housing for those experiencing homelessness. The city cited safety concerns and interference with public use of the park as reasons for the removal.

Ryan Donais, the founder of Tiny Tiny Homes, started building these shelters to address the growing number of homeless encampments in Ontario. Each tiny home is equipped with a bed, a small kitchen, a solar panel for lights and a fan, and a diesel-fueled heating system. Despite the city's request, Donais and his supporters are advocating for alternative locations for the shelters and have started a petition to garner public support.

The city has acknowledged the good intentions behind the initiative but maintains that the shelters pose safety risks and interfere with city staff's outreach work. As the debate continues, the future of these tiny homes remains uncertain.
