Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Saturday expressed “deep sorrow” over the passing of Fidel Castro, noting his family’s connection to the former Cuban dictator.
“Fidel Castro was a larger than life leader who served his people for almost half a century. A legendary revolutionary and orator, Mr. Castro made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation,” Trudeau wrote in a statement.
Castro’s brother Raul announced his death on Cuban state television early Saturday.
Trudeau noted that his father, former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was “very proud to call him [Castro] a friend.” The younger Trudeau said he met Castro when his father died.

Disgraceful. Why do young socialists idolize totalitarian tyrants? Castro, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot — all evil, torturing murderers. #truth https://t.co/mYJonVK7JB

Obama & Trudeau, before slobbering adulation on tyrants, take a min to look into the eyes of victims of communism. https://t.co/JhheweLpyu https://t.co/joqXEVdHlu

Trudeau is an idiot just like his fathet. I wonder how many young people really know anything about Castro and Che, other than the indoctrination they get from their teachers. If you explain the truth about these men, they will deny it or gloss over it. Castro and Che were not heroes.
