    By the way, it was only a few weeks ago that Canada came to us with a tin cup in their hand begging for vaccine. GTFOH.

      .... like the ex President, you seem to want to re-write history when confronted with uncomfortable facts.

        And when do you leave for Cuba to offer assistance?

          I think you are of the group of Americans

          "who do not really want the Cuban revolution to develop or a civilized relationship with respect with the United States."

          ... because the ex President (your hero) tried to undo every good move that President Obama made with Cuba. Not for good reason, for spite.

            Why would Trudeau begging for vaccine make me unconformable?

                    .... Canada thanks the USA and all of the European nations who have helped it get the upper hand on COVID-19. There is still a long battle ahead.

                      This opens meaningful dialogue with Cuban politicians about many social economic problems.
                      What Canada is actually doing is funding the dictators and communist regime in Cuba with these "international development programs", which does nothing to strengthen agriculture OR improve food security. All it does is line the pockets of the upper echelon of the Cuban communist party, and then they dole it out as "they see fit".
                      You are aware that part of the reason the protests are going on is due to "FOOD SHORTAGES"! SMH.....yeah, you guys have done SuCh A gReAt JoB at "improving food security" for Cubans.

                      "Opens meaningful dialogue"????
                      You are aware that the Cuban government has shut down most internet services and phone messaging services to try and stifle the "dissent" from it's citizens, and certain high-ranking politicians/ religious leaders/ community leaders on the island, aren't you?!? That's the opposite of "opening meaningful dialogue". LOL!
                      Or are you just one of those "good canadian comrades" that turns a blind eye to the injustices and atrocities committed by a communist dictatorship, because your country "has a good deal going" with the shit-bags?

                      Communism is Bad. Period!

                        ... do you really think that Canada gives money without strings attached?

                        If there is no progress on specific objectives, the funding stops.

                        Do you have any proof that Canadian money lines of the pockets of Cuban politicians or are you just verbalizing stereotypes?

                        What atrocities are you actually referring to? Or are you making that up as well?

                          SACRAMENTO, CALIF. -- Two California men have been charged with plotting to blow up the Democratic Party's headquarters in the state capital, a bombing they hoped would be the first in a series of politically-motivated attacks, federal prosecutors said Thursday.
                          The pair used multiple messaging apps to plan to attack targets they associated with Democrats after the November 2020 presidential election, the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement. Their first intended target was the John L. Burton Democratic Headquarters in Sacramento, prosecutors said.
                          "According to the indictment, the defendants planned to use incendiary devices to attack their targets and hoped their attacks would prompt a movement," the statement said.




                          Ian Benjamin Rogers, 45, and Jarrod Copeland, 37, each face multiple charges including conspiracy to destroy by fire or explosive a building used or in affecting interstate commerce, prosecutors said.
                          Rogers, of Napa, is charged with additional weapons violations, including one count of possession of unregistered destructive devices, and three counts of possession of machine guns. Copeland, of Vallejo, is charged with an additional count of destruction of records.
                          It wasn't known Thursday evening if the men have attorneys who could speak on their behalf.
                          "I want to blow up a democrat building bad," Rogers wrote, according to the indictment unsealed Thursday in San Francisco federal court. Copeland responded, "I agree" and "Plan attack," the indictment says.
                          In late December 2020, Copeland told Rogers he contacted an anti-government militia group to gather support for their movement, according to court documents.
                          In one exchange, Rogers wrote to Copeland, "after the 20th we go to war," meaning that they would initiate acts of violence after Joe Biden's inauguration on Jan. 20, 2021, the court papers say.
                          On Jan. 15, law enforcement officers searched Rogers's home and seized a cache of weapons, including 45 to 50 firearms, thousands of rounds of ammunition, and five pipe bombs, prosecutors said.
                          Copeland is accused of attempting to destroy evidence of the plan after Rogers' Jan. 15 arrest.
                          Rusty Hicks, chair of the California Democratic Party, called the accusations "extremely disturbing."
                          "We are relieved to know the plot was unsuccessful, the individuals believed to be responsible are in custody, and our staff and volunteers are safe and sound," Hicks said in a statement. "Yet, it points to a broader issue of violent extremism that is far too common in today's political discourse."
                          Copeland was arrested Wednesday and made an initial court appearance Thursday. He's scheduled to appear in court again on July 20 for a detention hearing. Rogers is scheduled to appear in court July 30 for a status conference.
                          If convicted on all charges, each defendant faces a maximum of 20 years in prison, officials said
