Please draw the line between dislike and hate.

I hate porridge. Refuse to allow it into in my mouth.

No disagreement with you on that. Trudeau's fine words about Castro do nothing to mitigate his own pro-capitalist, anti-working class record, nor that of his old man.
Mr. Trudeau is the laughing stock of everyone right now:

What a nutcase...
“You wouldn’t go to Pol Pot’s funeral,” Texas senator Ted Cruz told ABC’s This Week on Sunday. “You shouldn’t be doing what Obama and Trudeau are doing, celebrating Castro.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/ ... aueulogies

Dat true!

TT when are you CDN's going to kick your namby-pamby "leader" to the curb?

I hope we'll kick him to the curb in 2019, not because of this incident, but because he is an extreme right, pro-capitalist, anti-working class liberal. His fine words about Castro don't change that. I never thought I would defend him on anything, but I do on this one. But it still wont get him my vote.



Typical, spineless Liberal. In the face of criticism from the redneck elements in our country, he has done a flipflop. He has now announced that he will not attend the funeral. Coward.

Fidel Castro was an honorary pall bearer at the funeral of Trudeau Sr.

For some reason they decided that now was the best time to announce his passing. Maybe because they feared that a Trump led US would do something bad? Anyways, his granddaughter told one of my guys, during his most recent visit there, that her Gampy died a bit ago. He's probably been dead for 2 years or more.
There's a reason why Barry from Indonesia didn't visit the tin pots, tin pot, during his last trip, there. There's also a reason why they announced that they cremated the absolute leader on Saturday. Nothing to show in a casket, unless Madame Tussauds could whip up a realistic example of him.

From what I've heard, Fidel was a textbook narcissist. Guy claimed he invented the curve ball! :barf

BIRAN, Cuba — Not long after Fidel Castro’s new government began seizing farms and cattle ranches in a voracious expropriation campaign, his mother, Lina Ruz, looked out the window one day in 1960 and saw bearded soldiers in her orange groves.

She went outside to confront them with a rifle. They asked her to put the gun down and call her son. Castro had nationalized his own parents’ land.

Today the family’s former estate is a tidily groomed government historic site open to the public. It also serves as an unintentional monument to the economically ruinous changes Castro brought to rural Cuba, starting with the fiefdom of his immigrant father.

So TT do you support nationalization of land? Since you think so highly of Fidel - he even took it from his own mother!
