Amidst the jubilant celebration of Cuban Americans upon hearing of Fidel Castro's death, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had a very different take. Here is the full eulogy from the head of the Canadian government:
"It is with deep sorrow that I learned today of the death of Cuba's longest serving President.
"Fidel Castro was a larger than life leader who served his people for almost half a century. A legendary revolutionary and orator, Mr. Castro made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation.
"While a controversial figure, both Mr. Castro's supporters and detractors recognized his tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for "el Comandante".
"I know my father was very proud to call him a friend and I had the opportunity to meet Fidel when my father passed away. It was also a real honour to meet his three sons and his brother President Raúl Castro during my recent visit to Cuba.
"On behalf of all Canadians, Sophie and I offer our deepest condolences to the family, friends and many, many supporters of Mr. Castro. We join the people of Cuba today in mourning the loss of this remarkable leader."
No mention of Castro's firing squads, the extreme poverty he's forced upon the Cuban people, or the fact that he's brutally done everything he can to stop people from freely leaving his giant prison camp of an island he's developed.
Thankfully, the people of Twitter have made Trudeau pay with countless hypothetical eulogies Mr Trudeau might have given for histories most brutal people. I've pulled some of the best and put them here for your enjoyment, including one of my own:
