Today we have seen two major announcements. The first one from Raul Castro and Barak Obama. It must change the last 54 years of US - Latin American history. Obama’s administration will have to fight US Congress to get the laws reformed in order to end the embargo of October, 1960. It does not look easy. Do I agree with this step? Yes. Completely? No. We need to see real changes in Cuba and not accept another China in Latina America, in which human rights and democratic institutions are under the control of a minority. Differences between China and Cuba are huge. Obama’s administration must support full liberties for Cubans and free elected institutions. Cuba should not become a new market for US corporations to fully operate in and take advantage of the situation while Cubans are still living in the dark. Pope Francis is credited with developing this new order of relations between the US and Cuba, but Canada played an important role as well. Good for Canada but, Mr. Harper
