Most official responses to the death of Fidel Castro have been predictably wishy-washy, some calling him “controversial” at worst.
As Twitchy reported, though, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went the extra kilometer in composing his official statement on Castro’s passing, coming up with something downright poetic: Trudeau wrote that all of Canada was joining Cuba in “morning the loss of this remarkable leader” who “made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation.”
Many Cubans, especially those who managed to escape to the United States, are mourning by dancing in the streets. Still, even the very worst of us couldn’t hope for more than to have Justin Trudeau write our eulogies; they’d likely end up sounding something like this:
#trudeaueulogies “Today we say goodbye to Mr. Mussolini, the former Italian prime minister best known for his competent train-management.”
