This man came over from Detroit and says Canada has a lot to be proud of saying "we're in the belly of the beast, we were the ones who helped create the problems in Cuba. You are the people here who did a much better job than we did. In honour of Fidel and the glorious Cuban revolution that we support, we send our greetings from the United States."
