What a lot of people don't realize is how close Trudeau's family was to Castro. Castro was a pallbearer at Justin Trudeau's father's funeral. Castro held Justin's baby brother in his arms.

Moreover your wouldn't have to look very hard to find recent quotes of American presidents praising some rather nasty regimes.
