I just gotta say. What the Fuck is wrong with Trudeau and other politicians?
They're praising Fidel as if he's some kind of hero.
In their world, ideology matters more than actual history.
I live in the West coast so I don't see a lot of Cubans but I've known a few of the older folks and heard their stories. Farmers being executed, political dissidents being jailed/tortured/reprogrammed, homeless being beaten & jailed despite Castro's promise to provide everyone with a house/home, LGBT people being punished for being what they are, neighborhood "committees" turning neighbors in for growing their own produce in secret. It's absolutely sickening but none of it matters to a lot of these people.
