 Canada’s history is shaped by Indigenous civilizations that lived on the land for thousands of years before European exploration began in the 16th century. French and British settlers established colonies that eventually developed into a unified country in 1867, when the nation became a self-governing dominion within the British Empire.

Instead of calm images of mountains and rivers, the cans feature a skull logo and the slogan “Murder Your Thirst.” At first, many people thought the br...

The main issue is Spain’s  refusal  to give  authorization  for the United States to use its military bases in Rota and Morón for possible actions against Iran.

Recently, the U.S. government asked for additional authorization to increase military activity at these bases. However, the Spanish government rejected the request. Sánchez explained that Spain prefers diplomacy and  multilateralism , meaning cooperati...
