It's just fascinating to watch hypocrites like Peter Kent in the House of Commons and elsewhere attack Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's "praise" of the now late "communist dictator" Fidel Castro.  Politicians like Mr. Kent and President Elect Donald Trump would have us believe that they are so concerned about the oppression of human rights in Cuba.  Mr. Kent and Mr. Trump would have us believe that they are such passionate defenders of "freedom" and "democracy".

Bullsh-t!

What about the Chinese communist dictators?  These hypocrites are just still upset that Castro had kicked out the capitalist mafia that was running Cuba like an extension of Las Vegas before the Cuban Revolution, and that Castro sought to provide free healthcare for his Cuba.  Many capitalists were also upset by Ghaddafi not because he was killing anyone but because he too was providing universal healthcare and using oil money for the good of his people and not just for shareholders.

Chinese dictators allow the capitalists to oppress their citizens.  That's why Americans can freely trade with and visit China and not Cuba.  If Castro had allowed Cuba to be run by the capitalist mafia, it would not matter how many of his citizens he killed or oppressed in the same way it apparently doesn't matter as far as China.

China is a sort of wild west of capitalism which bans unions and doesn't have free public healthcare, and is rife with corruption  U.S. and other corporations can do anything they want and pay employees pennies a day with no real labour laws.  Cuba is not like that.  Castro sought to keep the capitalists in check.  That why the capitalists have not liked Castro.

So, Mr. Kent, please save us the bulls-t in the House of Commons.

Justin Trudeau will hopefully be inspired by his father's independent foreign policy position on Cuba and will not get caught up in the web of deceit and hypocrisy associated with Donald Trump whose substantive interest lies in dollars and cents and not in any defence of freedom and democracy.
