I would like to thank Shawgi for posting Fidel's speech and the Granma article on the net. I would also like to point out, in furtherence of his previous posting about Walmart's decision to take Cuban made PJ's out of their Canadian stores, that the company under Canadian pressure decided to sell Cuban PJs again but that now the American government is again trying to enforce US law in Canada by pressuring (prosecuting?) Walmart's American head office. This is the most intolerable form of American imperialism that I can imagine. It disgusts me that Americans put up with such clearly anti-humane behaviour on the part of their government. I suspect that one of the major reasons why Canada has continued to support Cuba is that we would like to have the guts to stand up to the American bully, but that since we don't, we will cheer on the little guy who has the courage to do so. If this is so, "Three cheers!". Paul Phillips, Economics, University of Manitoba
