No. The gulf of America, now that funny. Canada part of the US? We are just getting started! I would shut up while is still behind if I was you. 

And anybody who gets in bed with Trump elimanets fact checkers. Meta elimanets fact checkers. You got to embrace the lies of you want to do budding with Trump.

You make it sound pretty good, what with the blackouts, censorship, gas shortages, accumulating garbage, and the threat or exile for complaining about blackouts, accumulating garbage, censorship, gas shortages, harassment and/or exile from the homeland. I'm not sure how you square the 'free' part of education and healthcare given the other concerns you've raised here.  Question--are the educators immune to threats of harassment and exile, or do they generally follow the directive of the government?

Jamaica has the similar natural resources and similar land mass but is a democracy.  They also receive millions, if not billions from US tourists.   The luxury resorts there have heavy security and barbed wire. Cubans appear better educated, healthier and happier, at least the average person.  They do this with almost no US tourist dollars or trade.  The casas we stayed in had no security or barbed wire.  Ships that drop cargo into Cuba are banned from entering US ports for years.  Remove these obstacles and most of their problems go away.  We met journalist and artists, not educators.  They spoke freely and criticized openly.  The artists works were often socially provocative in regards to politics.

You said the other day that critics faced censorship, harassment and exile.

That was the journalist’s answer to my question on whether imprisonment resulted from criticizing the government. He said “no”. At worst would be that. There are many 3rd world democracies where that is the case.  Florida for example bans books…

It’s always easy to tell when you are losing. Someone your age (mid 60s if you can be believed) should know it’s better to say nothing than what you went with here. Embarrassing.

I’m not sure I follow you here.  I’ve never been to Cuba—you said you were told that critics of the government faced censorship, harassment and exile.  Here, you downplay those issues.  Is it like a soft exile?  They send dissidents off on a Carnival cruise line?

Bless your heart, you are so easily mislead. Can you tell one book that is banned where I live?
