How disrespectful of the oppression , impoverishment, and human right's violations of the Cuban people by the Castro dictators for the past 60 years and still continuing .

A slap in the face to democracy and its ideals of free speech and association .

Thousands of Cubans have died trying to escape by water to the US, yet the top symbol of Canadian democracy chooses to ignore the plight of the Cuban people merely for selfish personal reasons.
What a disgrace to freedom loving people around the world
