no doubt they are not rich, but than again how many in Canada are not rich and live pay to pay? Not sure why but only 2011-12 years seem to come up when searching Cuba, something must of happened around that date to make the news report on it. If you can link to people only making .75c a day please post it - the chart posted says making OVER 20k. as for 10 million outside middle class earnings, all children and all seniors would fall into that class. What does that leave? What exactly are you and 02sled arguing about? leave Cuba adn don't trade, Trudeau? oh I get it now Trudeau, its all clear now

LINK? I think they are doing better than 75 cents a day - and if not even more reason to lift embargo's

who said it wasn't a drop in the bucket rvernd asked what we trade look it up 0tool not sure why you think you need to say we don't trade with Cuba In 2009, Canada’s bilateral merchandise trade with Cuba totalled $818.3 million, consisting of $317.9 million in Canadian exports to, and $500.4 million in imports from, Cuba.

I know the facts, and this was 60 years ago - let it go USA has punished innocent people enough

Post up some more horrors

Well here are some figures, i won't bother with too much because you will just phoo phoo it OTTAWA — Federal spending on Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s international trips and related hospitality increased more than 70 per cent last fiscal year to nearly $14 million while his office cut costs in other areas, according to new government figures. As Harper was flying overseas more often, the Prime Minister’s Office cut its spending on staff, communications and other costs by 15 per cent in the 2011-12 budget year to around $7.6 million, compared to about $9 million the previous year, according to federal public accounts tabled Tuesday in the House of Commons. where was the outrage drug dealer countries the prime minister’s most expensive trip in 2011-12 was his visit to Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica and Honduras, which cost taxpayers almost $941,000 in travel expenses for Harper In 2013-2014, eight of the top 10 highest-spending MPs on designated travellers were Conservatives— including three cabinet ministers (Jason Kenney, Alice Wong, James Moore) and the prime minister himself. 46% - Percentage of votes missed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, 142 out of 311, between November, 2008, and December, 2010, the 40th and current Parliament. (Iggy was even worse) there is more by why bother rvernd will say ya here was present for 54% of the votes - great attendance

guess you missed this - oddly enough everything was up under Harper so it must be a great thing

WEll they should continue it for the next 300 years - that outta teach them a lesson. The people of Cuba need to know they will continued to be punished because of a leader they have no control over. Makes perfect sense similar to embargo's in places like Korea that cost 100's of thousand of lives around the world. I see it clearly now Thanks AC

the USA posts very similar videos and pics about Canada's 3rd world care too. I do agree that USA has punished the citizen of Cuba for a long time and it has its affects. Good thing we Canadians spend millions of dollars there so they can make something for themselves. Here is a link to one of their Hospitals maybe you should have a look and come back http://corp.hamad.qa/en/press/about_hmc/our_facilities/cuban_hospital/cuban_hospital.aspx You on the other hand will continue to bash JT no matter what he does.

Isn`t that like you met with President Obama but was blown off by GW1 - Its okay President Trump will roll back any talks Obama had with Cuba all while supporting talks with Russia. don`t you find that unusual? Wasn't it Russia that put missiles in Cuba

I wonder about people that have been pointed to a quote yet still continue to make shit up too funny

do you have a link to Liberals defending these killings? I missed it but would love to read about it

I think you are wrong, although he seems nice and supports women's issues proudly but don't for a minute think he is weak or light in the loafers. He would kick the crap out of you that is fore sure We will see what happens soon because there is going to be plenty of new shit coming up with President Trump at the helm. Smooth ride isn't going to be apart of the next 4 years

Free health care and many other things - who fucking cares they are not beating people in the streets like china and Russia do and there are plenty of cheap places to travel too PLENTY. Is JT turning a blind eye fuck didn't you read what I posted? well over 100 years Canada has been friends with this nation - I know Harper didn't exactly make new friends in Cuba but than again that seem consistent world wide. But Harper did meet with Castro I remember this because of the outrage posted here about Harper hugging commies “I have become convinced that a different approach is appropriate at this point in time,” Mr. Harper said Saturday after a private meeting with Mr. Castro at the Summit of the Americas in Panama City. “We’re at the point where an engagement is more likely to lead us to where we want to go than continued isolation.” During the their conversation, Harper said he and Castro discussed the long-running relationship between their countries — on political, tourism and commercial levels. The prime minister, who also noted how Canada helped facilitate the December deal between the U.S. and Cuba to work toward normalizing their diplomatic relations, gave little additional information about his own chat with Castro or how long it lasted. "We had a good and long discussion with the president," said Harper, who had never met Castro. JT is good for Canada - he has done nothing to hurt Canada YET

no matter SK asked what he has done and that is alot more than has been done over the past 20 years and its only been like 10 months of power. JT will be good for Canada, and then we will get tired of him and move on.

That is correct FRIEND - will you be bashing Trump for getting cozy with Russia? you know the giant that was friendly with cuba? no you will not. 1 million Canadians travel to Cuba every year which adds up to near 50% of all tourism for Cuba - We go there because it hadn't been invaded by USA yet and is really a nice country. You need some history lessons - Friends long before Trudeau senior was around Canada-Cuba relations can be traced back to the 18th century, when vessels from the Atlantic provinces of Canada traded codfish and beer for rum and sugar. Cuba was the first country in the Caribbean selected by Canada to locate a diplomatic mission and official diplomatic relations were established in 1945, when Emile Vaillancourt, a noted writer and historian, was designated Canada’s representative in Cuba. Canada and Mexico were the only two countries in the hemisphere not to break relations with Cuba in the years that followed the Cuban revolution in 1959. Our Trade is near 1 billion dollars yearly between cuba and Canada and has been this way for decades. Ontario is the largest exporter to Cuba, another benefit (150 million). Wheat is Canada’s largest export product to Cuba. Wheat sales were worth $57 million Exports increased under Harper and continue to increase commies there is an old saying of FEAR we grew up with, today is Terrorist (never ending fight)

Well we have had a seat on the council since the beginning until Harper got us kicked off, I know for you this was a proud moment in our History but really it was a sad moment. I can just hear you if it was JT getting kicked off Stop with your Harper is the greatest and never did wrong. AS for Natives (like you really care all of a sudden) OTTAWA—The federal government will provide $69 million over the next three years for indigenous mental health services, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday after meeting a delegation of more than 20 aboriginal youth from northern Ontario. The funding is designed to help communities tackle urgent mental health needs while the government works with indigenous leaders to negotiate a new health accord, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement. A detailed breakdown of the new spending was not immediately available. The money is intended to provide services including four crisis response teams in Ontario, Manitoba and Nunavut — identified as having the greatest need — as well as 32 additional mental wellness teams. Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, Status of Women Minister Patricia Hajdu, and Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett held a news conference on Parliament Hill hours later launching the first phase of an inquiry. The ministers said they would start by meeting families of missing and murdered women this week. Lifting 2% cap on education Trudeau also said his government would make significant investments in education and lift the two per cent cap on funding for First Nations programs, beginning with the first budget of 2016. "As you know, that limit has been in place for nearly 20 years," Trudeau said. "It hasn't kept up with the demographic realities of your communities, nor the actual costs of program delivery. "It's time for a new fiscal relationship with First Nations that gives your communities sufficient, predictable and sustained funding." Launch a national public inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women. Make significant investments in First Nations education. Lift the two per cent cap on funding for First Nations programs. Implement all 94 recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Repeal all legislation unilaterally imposed on indigenous people by the previous government. "These are just five of the commitments we've made as part of our efforts to repair this most important relationship," Trudeau said in the address to First Nations leaders on Tuesday. Compared to the last 10 years JT has done 10 times already but I doubt you will see this

Never seen him hug a terrorist Cuba has been our friend for a very long time, many Canadians travel there every year, so what is the problem? Castro hates American's like many countries around the world, the same can't be said about us. You seem to wish this though.

I have that one in Creemore as a shell and sorry I thought you were in singhampton

Everyone should have health care and I know you think so too. And noone shops for this, they go to the nearest hospital or doctor. There are no special deals to be found. I think extrabaconbits said it right (although he is a bit of a crack pot) no worries 02sled
