Aeroflot medical emergency denied landing in USA lands YYZ

[macbainz1]

maybe it's to do with cuba, but we will never know because they won't tell us, there americans.

[macbainz1]

F**K the USA once again and their policies! Cuba is a way better place today without America corrupting it!

Cuba is so much better that many Cubans are ready to risk their lives ir order to leave that workers' paradise and go to the evil US.
Yeah, Cubans drive 40 y.o. russian cars and pimp their own wives to foreign tourists, but hey, there are no evil Americans corrupting their land.

no just canadians

My goody two shoes sister went to Cuba for a while to help with autistic children education...

She had her clock put on correct time...

And she said that Cubans do actually live off tree bark and grass,
that in a country that pre-Castro was the richest Latino country
with the best agricultural land in the whole wide world.

Same thing with North Korea.

Chinese border guards report that expelled Korean refugees are
strung up together by Korean guards with baling wire punched through their clavicles
and wrists, dragged to the nearest ditch where they get their heads blown off
in full view of the chineses...

The communists here are seemingly in full denial.

Who's fault is that? Castro's or the USAs for putting the embargos on Cuba just because of their choice of government?

If you been around a bit, you know Canada is a pale imitation of the USA
and outside these two countries, life is a nightmare.
(You still need 900 Euros to buy what a $100 us or can will buy)
All these "Socialist paradises" are like living in prison,
unless you are in the nomenklatoura...

God I would hate to live in Switzerland, everyone knows that that place is worse than Somalia!

Sorry mah man, compared to many other parts of the world the USA sucks harder than a single mom trying to make rent.

Come on Niss...wake up and read a little. The trade embargo doesn't apply to American agricultural products. Lotsa Kansas wheat goes to Cuba every month. And the embargo doesn't apply to other countries at all. Canada, France, Poland etc etc are perfectly free to trade with Cuba. It's not like we are enforcing a blockade.

WTF

That is staggeringly stupid and ignorant. As a Canadian who lives abroad, I am embarrassed that we both share the same passport.

International Sanctions against the Cuban Government. Economic embargo, any non-US company that deals economically with Cuba can be subjected to legal action and that company's leadership can be barred from entry into the United States. Sanctions may be applied to non-U.S. companies trading with Cuba. This means that internationally operating companies have to choose between Cuba and the US, which is a much larger market.

Damn that Helms anyway. He was such a greasy little racist redneck southern shiit, how he ever got that passed is beyond me. Well color me wrong anyway. But I don't think I've read about it being enforced. And I do know we sell the Cubans all kinds of Ag products.

The internet says you are right about the Agricultural part anyway.

Threads like this remind me why I rarely bother to head back to AvCan much these days.

I did this morning, likely wont for another month or two again now.

I _expect_ to find aviation related conversations here. The racist name slurs in this thread remind me why I dont bother with Avcan much anymore, and, will probably inspire me to not bother coming back again for quite some time.

I've removed the more offensive stuff and moved this to misc.

wabano has been warned.

I like the way that, when something a little bit smelly shows up at the doorstep, it can be safely tossed into the yard next door.
