Suite aux nouvelles menaces vindicatives formulées par Donald Trump, l'entreprise canadienne SHERITT (exploitation du nickel) a décidé de quitter Cuba et de rapatrier tous ses salariés. Le 1er mai 2026, des centaines de milliers de Cubaines et Cubains ont manifesté à La Havane devant l'ambassade états-unienne pour dénoncer le blocus. Pourtant, face à ce crime contre le peuple cubain, les médias occidentaux restent coupablement silencieux. #cuba #usa #TumbaElBloqueo #canada #nickel #trump

English – The Conversation | Canada’s new sovereign wealth fund is ambitious, but its design raises questions by Paul Calluzzo, Associate Professor and Toller Family Fellow of Finance, Queen's University, Ontario AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Canada’s first national sovereign‑wealth fund – the Canada Strong Fund – a $25 billion vehicle that will invest primarily in domestic projects while offering Canadians a retail‑investor product that promises market‑rate returns and protection of the initial capital. The fund’s dual mandate – to earn commercial returns and to bolster a stronger, more resilient Canadian economy – raises several concerns: it will be financed from an already‑deficit federal budget, it will concentrate its assets in Canada rather than diversifying globally as most sovereign‑wealth funds do, and it introduces a novel retail‑investor option whose risk‑reward profile and guarantee mechanisms are unclear. Critics argue that these design choices could increase financial and political risk, dilute returns, and require cross‑subsidies, suggesting that the fund would be more effective if it adhered to the Santiago Principles, separated strategic domestic investing (perhaps via the existing Canada Growth Fund) from wealth‑building abroad, and limited retail exposure to well‑understood, below‑market‑rate instruments.

🇨🇦🚍 BC #Transit has ordered 41 new Enviro500 double-decker buses from Alexander Dennis as part of a fleet renewal programme in British Columbia, #Canada. The buses, added to the manufacturer’s backlog in the first quarter of 2026, will replace older vehicles reaching the end of their service life and support the continued use of double-deckers across the network. Each bus seats up to 80 passengers while maintaining a compact road footprint. BC Transit, which serves more than 130 communities and carries over 54 million passengers a year, was the first public #transport operator in North America to introduce double-decker buses in 2000. Around 50 Alexander Dennis double-deckers already operate in Victoria, with more due to enter service this year. Both organisations said the order reflects their long-standing partnership and focus on improving passenger capacity and comfort. https://www.alexander-dennis.com/bc-transit-partners-with-alexander-dennis-for-fleet-upgrade-with-order-of-41-new-enviro500-double-deckers/

Chatter out of #Canada prompted this question from AvBrief.com: "Last Season For the Snowbirds? Canadian Government Mulls Suspending Demo Team" This is not a done deal by any means. Apparently the Canadian Air Force is down quite a few #pilots, and might be thinking of using these top sticks as non-air show pilots. Article says it might not be a cancellation, just a "five year pause." We love the #Snowbirds here, hopes this does not come to pass. https://avbrief.com/last-season-for-the-snowbirds-canadian-government-mulls-suspending-demo-team #avgeeks #aviation

#canada By now, Canadians should have a portal where they can learn their personal flood risk by entering their home address. But that portal doesn't work yet, and when it does, it won't take climate change into account, says a new report from the Auditor General's office https://www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/weather/severe/canadian-flood-risk-portal-doesnt-work-yet-and-doesnt-consider-climate-change-report #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #ClimateInstability #MassAtrocity #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

Winning Canadian nominations that are being sent to the Lemmyvision contest

If you would like to vote in the main contest, please keep an eye on !lemmyvision@jlai.lu for the main contest announcements. Thank you everyone for the nominations, discussion, and for voting in the survey. We will eventually put together a page similar to last time on our website. I am submitting the songs to the contest now. However, if there are concerns, we likely have until the end of the day (May 3rd) to adjust the submission. You can listen to the winning songs below: Boy Golden — ‘Suffer’ (2026-02-13) Platform Link YouTube Music Listen Spotify Listen Tidal Listen Deezer Listen Apple Music Listen MusicBrainz Listen Bandcamp Listen Song.link Listen Angine de Poitrine — ‘Fabienk’ (2026-02-05) Platform Link YouTube Music Listen Spotify Listen Tidal Listen Deezer Listen Apple Music Listen MusicBrainz Listen Bandcamp Listen Song.link Listen Elisapie — ‘Uummati Attanarsimat (Heart of Glass)’ (2025-09-24) Platform Link YouTube Music Listen Spotify Listen Tidal Listen Deezer Listen Apple Music Listen MusicBrainz Listen Bandcamp Listen Song.link Listen Related: Nomination thread: lemmy.ca/post/63076630 Voting thread: lemmy.ca/post/64027827 Playlists for all nominated songs YouTube Music: music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUV1fhm4tnZ4ss-uWbtPl5CsgBoED_X8g Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/7ecMcqptr5ytHBTIvnVbdm Tidal: tidal.com/playlist/f8de0430-6c64-4da0-b679-a047ea1e68b7 Deezer: link.deezer.com/s/337fAWiDFGmWfVM5ueaXv How were the winners calculated In order to calculate the winners, I decided on the Borda count, normalized by the number of choices ranked, so that voters who ranked fewer songs are not disadvantaged compared to those who ranked all of them. Thus, if a user ranked n songs, the score for the i^th song would be score = (n - i) / (n - 1), giving 1.0 for a first-place vote and 0.0 for last place. Ballots ranking only one song were given a score of 1.0. In the French category, there was a clear winner regardless of the ranking method used. In the English category, Boy Golden: Suffer (BG) ranked first when using a normalized Borda count, a regular Borda, and when using a fixed set of points for the top 3 choices in each submission. Meanwhile, The Beaches: Last Girls At The Party (TB) ranked first when using an inverse rank and when counting appearances, while BG still ranked second and third with those methods respectively. When looking at the raw data, this seems to have happened because BG ranked high in a number of submissions, while TB ranked lower on average but was mentioned in more responses. Since we had a small sample size, and a lot of people only selected a few songs, I chose to use this normalized Borda method as the final ranking seems to capture the intent of the votes the best. I also explored average ranks, which is what Formbricks survey summary UI uses, but this method crowned a winner based on a single response since that response ranked every song. Using this normalized Borda count, we get the following rankings: 1 Boy Golden: Suffer 4.36 2 The Beaches: Last Girls At The Party 3.56 3 Shad: Slanted 2.78 4 Dan Mangan: Diminishing Returns 2.72 5 BRKN LOVE: Pulling Leeches 2.69 6 The Free Label: DANCING ON YOUR OWN 2.48 7 Men I Trust: To Ease You 2.28 8 REZZ: Glass Veins 1.99 9 Headstones: An Effort to Forget 1.83 10 Aysanabee: Embers 1.50 11 Wolf Castle: Go Time 1.33 12 William Prince: On Rolls the Wheel 1.17 13 Cenzina: Citizen4 1.00 14 Sloan: Live Forever 0.68 15 Emma Alves: The Gardener 0.44 16 Maya Jade: Heart on the Line 0.37 17 Akintoye: In Due Time 0.22 18 ilysm: burnouts 0.11 19 Anne Murray: Rest Easy (In My Love) 0.00 1 Angine de Poitrine: Fabienk 11.60 2 Angine de Poitrine: Sarniezz 4.50 3 Thick Glasses: ELIZA 4.40 4 Ariane Roy: Dogue 3.20 5 Jérôme 50: Anarcolique 1.80 6 oui merci: Stable 1.00
