All Things Cuba (Castro, politics, etc.)

Damn, that #trudeaueulogies is some fine, fine social comment. 

Even internationally.

Is this a real statement or a parody? Because if this is a real statement from the PM of Canada it is shameful & embarrassing. Marco Rubio-US Senator

He's swiftly turning into a Truedope whom I wish wasn't bringing me as a Canadian citizen into his bloody stupid statements.

WOW!.....This is getting quite the international exposure now.

The sun king errs in his presumption that he speaks on my behalf.

I reserve my condolences, instead, for the family, friends, and many, many supporters of those whom Castro murdered, imprisoned, and otherwise oppressed throughout his wretched life.

 

[Canuck_Jock]

Not since the Irish Government sent its condolences to the German Embassy on the death of Chancellor Hitler has there been such crass insensitivity.

I know he is more a brand than a politician, but Trudeau should retract his statement and apologise.

Interesting how much of the media were both apoplectic with rage on Trump's election and then suddenly cuddly, soft focus on Castro's death. The Right=bad Left=good bias is nakedly exposed.

Sorry, that's not how it works.

Note to Team Red Info-machine:  sometimes, less IS more - check how your boss is doing on social media ...  :facepalm: x 1,000

PM's statement also attached for posterity (or evidence) in case the link stops working.

Question Period should be entertaining on Monday...  :nod:

 

[jollyjacktar]

CBC is culling most of the anti-Trudope comments on the story about the backlash. It must be a dark day for them.

Yes it will.  Whoever wrote that is probably looking for a job right now.

The Telegraph in the UK lines us up with France's Hollande, Venezuela, Jeremy Corbyn, Putin and Obama.....

Oh, and I forgot, China.

That sounds lovely, especially as it looks like he wrote it himself.

Awesome.  Great to be lumped in with the commies and lefties.  Thanks Trudope.  :

And it was not just one post, but several throughout the day.
