‘Disgraceful’: Canadian PM Slammed on Twitter For Offering Tribute to Fidel Castro

“I’m very happy today”, said Conception Rodriguez, as she sipped a cup of Cuban coffee at Havana Café in Dallas.

Cuba has strict penalties for drug possession and is known in the region for deploying doctors and humanitarian aide to countries in need.

Italian Foreign Minister Paolo Gentiloni said on Twitter that Castro’s death marked the turning of “one of the great and tragic pages of the last century”. “A historian. He wanted normal relations with the United States but not at the expense of the accomplishments of the revolution”.

“I was so excited when I went there, my second trip, to a May Day demonstration, and Fidel addressed one million people that were in Revolutionary Square, and we marched with him through the city”, Domingo said. She was the only no vote on the invasion of Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks.

“Carvalho said the district is getting ready for a potential influx of child and adult learners after Castro’s death”.

Raul Castro said his brother will be cremated. “This not how you react as a world leader”.

“I was in shock because we’ve spent so many years waiting for that news, but when the news come, I don’t know what I think”, he said.

Some California politicians were silent on Castro’s death, while others ripped into him. Neither had Kamala Harris, who was elected on November 8 to replace the retiring Boxer in January.

Raúl Castro officially took power in 2008.

The rebel’s demise had occurred with imprecise timing – in another eight weeks, Fidel Castro could have bragged that he had tormented twelve American presidents instead of only eleven. But as the Cuban exiles aged, and as Castro outlived them, and as President Barack Obama eroded the embargo and younger Cubans returned to the island, the toast rang silent in many households.

“Fidel Castro’s death does not deserve to be mourned”.

At Havana University, Mr Castro’s alma mater, students waved huge Cuban flags and shouted “Viva Fidel and Viva Raul”, in reference President Raul Castro.

Cruz argued in a National Review op-ed that Castro’s death would not bring “material change in Cuba”. “Freedom and democracy are long overdue in Cuba”, he said in a statement.

Others tweeted eulogies for Josef Stalin, Adolph Hitler, Jack the Ripper, King Kong, and Dracula as.TrudeauEulogies trended high in Canada on Saturday evening.

But a leading critic, Orlando Gutierrez, said Mr Castro was a monster.

I join the many Cuban Americans who supported me so greatly in the presidential campaign, including the Brigade 2506 Veterans Association that endorsed me, with the hope of one day soon seeing a free Cuba’.

Those advances could easily be reversed if Trump sticks to the harder line he took at the end of his election campaign, when he vowed to close the US embassy, opened past year after half a century, and to renegotiate President Barack Obama’s agreement to normalize relations with Cuba. “That’s them”, she said. Almost all other USA businesses expropriated by October.

Wearing his “Bay of Pigs Veteran” shirt, 80-year-old Rafael Torre stood amid hundreds of Cuban-Americans celebrating the death of Fidel Castro and marveled that he remained in power for so long.
