Christmas has come early!
Now we’ll hear all the Leftists who call Trump a dictator pass on their condolences to a REAL dictator. This will get interesting.
Trump elected, Castro dies. So much winning!
Captcha is getting downright creepy. “Liberty Chihuahua” ?
Nah. It’s still a rumour as the New York Times hasn’t mentioned it.
I wonder if PM Trudeau will attend the funeral personally.
Yeah.And probably half the Cabinet.
Red Rachel and her politburo will likely be in mourning. I guess that means Alberta’s carbon tax will be higher than originally announced as someone has to pay for all of the ministers to go to the funeral.
Breaking:
Castro arrives in hell; gives 4 hour speech.
Mao and Stalin tell him that he’s a pain in the ass.
Sic semper tyrannis.
Another opportunity for Lil Potato-head to make another trip on Canadian taxpayer expense. I wonder what the bill will be this time!
I just checked again. It’s the lead item on the NYT’s website, so I guess it’s official now.
A sad day for the Trudopes, the Media, the Butts and all the dictator loving Libranos… I guess the lisping potato will be headed back to the prison island for a State funeral… now we know why the lisp was prancing around the prison island last week, he was saying his final goodbyes to his Uncle Dictator… I hear lispy Justine has taken off his shirt, grown a beard and sold the Parliament buildings to the communist Chinese in remembrance of his uncle.
Trudeau is said to be despondent. You would think they would have told him the secret.
He’s dead Jim

The Potato will head straight for the Bay of Pigs, and the Clinton’s devoid of
speaking fees will attend a simulcast at Mark Cuban’s.
Would have died at 78, but wanted to finish a speech.
Burn in Hades Fidel.
Be a boom in t-shirt sales coming up.
Che and Castro can meet at Satan’s Gym and pump each other.
Fidelin’ another tune; apparently no love is lost on his passing…
Fidel Castro’s death sparks celebrations in Miami

I’m sure they are lighting up Havana cigars all over the place…

He was only the dictator for 50 years.
50 years. I mean really. Think of how many people were killed or jailed so that he could remain in power. Let alone suppressing the quality of life for the Cuban people.
Cuba would be a paradise today if it were not for Castro.
It is time for the human race to kick out all the dictators. Including sons or brothers of previous dictators. ALL of them.
At least he managed to hang on long enough to bag a second Canadian PM’s wife. Hope he and his brother aren’t apart for long.
It will be interesting to see how Trudeau handles this given his long family friendship with Fidel, his father was a great admirer of the Commie dictator.
trudeau has already praised the murderous bast ard.
The world has become a slightly better place.
Ezra is totally ripping Trudeau to pieces on Twitter!!
Links please Kate!!
(I don’t have Twiitter…I just click on Kate’s Twitter feed)
Perfect timing. Winter arrived in Ottawa this week and the Libs and P’ti P’tate are longing for a tropical vacation.
Like it or not, Castro clearly retained great popular affection in Cuba. However, without his living presence, even as an infirm old figuehead, I doubt the people of that clapped-out nation have much faith left in the empty promises of la Revolución cubana.
So – interesting times ahead for Cuba! Little brother Raúl (no spring chicken himself) has none of Fidel’s personal magnetism and the faceless functionaries who now run the country can offer little but a continuing round of small concessions mixed with capricious spells of repression.
It will be interesting to hear what other Western democracies have to say about Castro’s passing. I wonder how most Canadians feel about Trudeau’s response/
“Winter arrived in Ottawa this week and the Libs and P’ti P’tate are longing for a tropical vacation.”
If there is any justice, post-Castro Cuba will begin developing to the point where it will no longer be a cheap and exclusive holiday venue for smug Canadian tourists.
Heh
But it’s paradise. Socialist paradise. Superior paradise for the socialist ruling class.
Check Venezuela, it’s on the road not different.
In socialist paradise everyone learns how to read, then, they are not allowed to read.
Everybody gets healtcare for free, then they get it when those in charge decide. Come to think of it not much different from Alberta.
Everybody gets to eat, then the ruling class desires how much.
And so on and so on.
See, what’s not to like.
There wont be a shortage of Canadians at the castro funeral. A bunch of quebek ‘businessmen’ who cut deals with castro in order to take advantage of the $1/day labour rates at the kanadian resorts (with the appropriate kick back to the glorious leader). They’ll all be there along with spud. Guys like Serge Savard. Weeping…..and hoping their ‘investment’ will continue.
The military will continue to run the country. The Cuban has no memory of anything other than misery. I have no expectation of any change. It might even get worse. Trump isn’t going to extend any olive branches unless there is some serious money in it. The military like the status quo
…I wonder if the priest that gave him Last Rites was executed!
The guy was a monster and a evil man…Say hello to Satan!
Never could understand Canadians vacationing in Cuba. Most of the resorts are owned by the military so you are subsidizing the oppression of Cubans. Plus lots of homosexuals in prison there you politically correct Canadians.
Homosexuals in prison? You mean Shiny Pony would be in jail if he lived in Cuba as would Obama, yet they kiss up to the butcher dictator.
Sadly, nothing will change for the Cuban people held prisoner on their backward, Socialist, gulag island. Nothing. Change. A continuation of their mediocre lives.
You sum up the status for Cubans well.
I think I’ll make a donation to the Memorial for Victims of Communism – “Tribute to Liberty”. How can someone become a Prime Minister and be so clueless about one of the Big Questions of the twentieth century? Especially given the answer was made emphatically clear almost twenty years ago with the fall of communism . . . . . . Castro was on the wrong side of history. So was Justin’s father. The son just doesn’t get it . . .
“Never could understand Canadians vacationing in Cuba.”
Because it’s a cheap vacation, why else?
Hell, I have family members who head down there. I’ve long ago abandoned wasting my time haranguing them over the hypocrisy of carping on sanctimoniously about our “Canadian values” while cheerfully holidaying in a repressive, communist state.
Worse still, you just know there are smug Canadians out there who will consider a post-Castro Cuba “ruined” if the country manages to somehow get on its feet and start improving its standard of living. All those resorts and beaches will become so expensive and overrun by Americans and Havana will not longer be so “charmingly quaint” and “retro”.
“Castro clearly retained great popular affection in Cuba”….yeah….sort of like how Kim Jong-un has great popular affection in North Korea.
Never could understand Canadians vacationing in Cuba.
Let us see now.
Left socialist country run by communists in 1968. First visit back at about the early 1980’s was something that could be analogous to a holiday in Cuba.
Everything was relatively cheap, you kind of felt as though you are some kind of rich with $1500 in yer pocket.
Have known people, of course union people that thought of themselves supremely generous, going to Cuba and bringing trinkets like a pack of gum, a pencil and an eraser, maybe few candies, to give to the poor kids in the workers paradise the unionists themselves strive for.
Heh…..irony is around you wherever you turn.
There is also a lot of cheap generosity, a few penies here and few penies there.
“Like it or not, Castro clearly retained great popular affection in Cuba. …”
Like it or not, the Cuban people had to display affection for Castro.
Nailed it. Same with regards to Harper previously.
Justin to deliver the eulogy, Sophia to sing and Barry Hussein to click selfies while seated in the front row. A funeral to die for.
