* Background: Sacha Trudeau - Fidel Castro - Jonathan Kay - Human Rights Watch -
Update post added, Dec. 8, 06 - Barbara Amiel

The last days of the patriarch - A Sacha Trudeau quote: "Pierre Trudeau had a friendship with Fidel Castro that went beyond politics. It was a mutual admiration between two men who put their unmatched intellects at the service of their country. .... Fidel is the last of the global patriarchs. Reason, revolution and virtue ..."

Sacha's love letter: His father gave us the Charter of Rights. So what is Sacha Trudeau doing writing obsequious agitprop for a communist thug?

"The legacy of Castro is well-summarized in a recent report by Human Rights Watch: "Cuba remains a Latin American anomaly: an undemocratic government that represses nearly all forms of political dissent. President Fidel Castro, now in his 47th year in power ... continues to enforce political conformity using criminal prosecutions, long- and short-term detentions [and] mob harassment ... The end result is that Cubans are systematically denied basic rights to free expression, association, assembly, privacy, movement, and due process of law."

... made a name in the tenderloin of Canadian life as a man who could procure false documents, which he did for ....
