Wow. This is unusual. Canada has always been one of the most stalwart supporters of Castro, Inc., so hearing a denunciation of the dictatorship in that country’s parliament is extremely unusual. But it happened this week. Stephanie Kusie’s words inevitably fell on an overwhelming number of deaf ears, but she gave voice to the crisis of conscience that Canada as a nation and Canadians as tourists should have had long ago, but never have had. Along with Spain, Canada bears a heavy responsibility for keeping a murderous dictatorship in power. Watch video below:

Canadian parliamentarian Stephanie Kusie denounced on Tuesday during a plenary session in her country the precarious conditions facing Cubans on the island and the nationwide blackout caused by the collapse of the National Electrical System.
“People of Cuba, we see you and support you in your struggle. Soon, Canada will once again be the ally you can count on,” said the conservative politician.
The legislator stated that “life under a communist regime is like living in darkness.”
“Ask the Cuban people. I am working to ensure that Canada once again becomes a voice that Cuban dissidents can trust in their struggle to free themselves from Castro’s dictatorship,” added the representative of the Conservative Party of Canada.
Kusie recalled the anti-government protests of July 2021 and called for international community support for Cubans fighting for freedom.
On her social media, the opponent of Justin Trudeau’s government wrote: “I am working to make Canada once again a voice that Cuban dissidents can trust in their struggle to free themselves from Castro’s dictatorship.”
In June 2023, families of political prisoners and opposition leaders sent a letter to Prime Minister Trudeau and other members of the Canadian Government seeking support for the release of political prisoners on the island.
In the summer of 2021, shortly after the popular uprising, Trudeau criticized the repression of demonstrators and said that the people of Cuba “deserve democracy and freedom.”
The following year, in February 2022, his government condemned the harsh prison sentences imposed on the peaceful demonstrators of July 11 in Cuba, reminding the Havana regime of its citizens’ right to express themselves and assemble freely, without fear of reprisal.
No foreign country has greater obligation to Cuba than Spain, which means that Spain’s longstanding collusion with Castro, Inc. is much worse than Canada’s. But yes, Canadian collusion reeks to high heaven.
