Not happy with Cuba

Hello, John,

I must ask why, like too many Canadians, you relish supporting a brutal communist police dictatorship like Cuba. Too often, it’s because we can, and Americans can’t – that old animosity bred into too many of my countrymen.

If you’re going to publish in this vein, at least have the temerity to give background to the nation’s politics, its rabid support for Chavez-now-Maduro and the deprivations its brand of socialism has brought over 70 years to its people.

Filling state coffers from the spend of well-off yachtsmen will serve no purpose but to ensure its continuation.

Regards,
Brian Hicks
