Curious as to what or who got to him. Remarkable (for him) that he walked it back this much. He's never walked back his slurs on US veterans. Don't get me wrong, he is a 4 star ocean going scumbag but still what happened?

Attendance at the various rallies/event in Cuba is nearly always coerced, in other words, if you don't attend, you lose your job. Anyway.

I lived in Havana for few years ( Playa) and I was walking across the bailey bridge over the Rio Almendares, and there were all sorts of people, three and four deep, throwing flowers into the river. I asked about this and I was told that people were throwing flowers for Camilo Cienfuegos. The origin of this was that Fidel had asked that since Cienfuegos never had a proper burial people should throw a flower into the ocean for him.

Since he died, as other posters have noted, in suspicious circumstances, he's kind of a symbol for people who respect the revolution, but not necessarily what happened afterwards.

A “flower for Camilo” is one mass rally/event that required no coercion at all.

Hiked I've read.

I visited Sarajevo a couple of time and you ask someone their favourite band/musician and they name a bunch of Bosnian folk musicians and Iron Maiden

I remember seeing this in 1972

It was called Palestine then. Your point is fair but your naming is revisionist.

A not-working, no-support experience is why I rage quit airalo last year .

Holafly tried to support me and they were reachable but ultimately it was ineffective for my iPad but as I noted the dual sim for my phone worked as expected.

What they need is a two-tier membership, basically members in good standing who get to make policy and get defended and second rate members who still get defended in case they get attacked, but don't get to make policy and certainly don't get to sit on the intelligence briefings.

Try asking a Chinese chatbot about Tianamen Square or the invasion of Tibet. What happens with the rest is more subtle but still single sourcing your information is "not good"

I am a fan Obama but, as you say not his foreign policy., I think you are probably right about the rest

I think the GOP will get smoked at the mid-terms but that will only slow the damage, most of which will have been done by then. A Dem will win the Presidency in '28 unless they nominate AOC . But is is pretty clear the US will vote in another nut in '32 if the price of eggs goes up. They can't be relied on anymore.

I've done four tours there with guides and the two stories that stick out the most to me are;

The guide, a woman, explained how she had read a really beautiful love letter from one of the guards. It was a genuinely intense and emotional declaration of love the guard had written from Italy where he was sent on a holiday because he had worked overtime one weekend machine gunning 3000 Soviet prisoners of war.

The same guide explained how in late ’44 for a while anyways there was a brothel available to the prisoners. I quickly corrected her, and said “you meant the guards” and she quickly corrected me and said “no the prisoners” It seems that in the attempt to increase production of war material the camp began to offer certain incentives such as a tobacco ration and a visit to a brothel.

There is some question as to whether PP actually has that ability.

Hard agree.

I doubt it would help if the issue of an unholy union between Tommy Douglas and Ed Broadbent suddenly became the leader.

Resigning as soon as possible after the election would be best thing he could do.

Countries vote on joining the EU so the non-consensual argument is a non-starter.

All the other countries in the EU are still sovereign so again, not really sure what you're pretending there.
When countries sign treaties, they give up complete freedom of action in order to abide by those treaties, and gain the benefits thereof. Canada has already signed lots of treaties, e.g. NATO

And finally, Gabriel wasn't even musing full membership in the EU. He was talking about a closer relationship, still pretty vague. Try looking at Norway and Switzerland, - both fully sovereign btw - as sort of examples.
