So an American company wants to buy this refinery in Alberta that gets materials from a Cuban mine.
How would that be legal for the American company to have any kind of business with Cuba while Cuban hospitals can't even get parts from German MRI machines because American companies threaten to not do business with the German company if they trade with Cuba?
No one cares about humanitarian exceptions to an arbitrary blockade but one mustn’t touch the shareholder value. Dead people? No1curr. Lower share price? Blasphemy!
Perhaps Canada should send tanker ships full of oil with provisions that it must go to the operation of the mine so business can continue. For the shareholders not humanity, that is Carney's top concern, I say that as an NDP member not a conservative.

Well, when Trump invades and annexes Cuba, then it won't be illegal any more.
It's simply good for (american) business...
