  1. America’s decades-long boycott kept Cuba poor.

    Obama started reversing it, but trump is ‘imfluenced’ by the people who want to reacquire the country again.

    Dumb ass American here. If I can ask my friendly Canadians, or anyone that’s been, what’s a vacation in Cuba look like? Is it very similar to most Caribbean islands where you just basically stay at a resort with everything there? Or is it cool to roam Havana or other places and experience culture? I know the country has suffered, but as an American that depends on personal experience rather than the bullshit media at my fingertips to parse the truth, how fares it?

  3. My aunt and uncle are there right now. Guess they’ll be waiting in queue for one of the return planes.

    Serious question: Canada seems to be all about divesting from the US right now. Canada hasn’t been willing to supply Cuba with jet fuel in past due to tariff pressure from the US. If they don’t care about the US anymore why won’t Canada trade fuel with Cuba?

  5. I mean Cuba has been tottering for years, especially the last several months no thanks to Trump. As a Canadian. I really question the judgment and IQ of anyone who still thought it was safe to travel to… Cuba.

  6. I think I saw an article where Cuba mentioned they were almost out of jet fuel… Now the reality. What was preventing them from getting more? Couldn’t afford it or was it because of the trade embargo’s?

  7. Man how stupid do you have to be. They were warned this was going to happen. And they still went for vacation.
