Petition Against the U.S. War on Cuba Relaunched Print E-mail

The parliamentary petition (e-3640) against the U.S. War on and Economic Blockade of Cuba is now open for signatures.

It calls on the Government of Canada to take specific steps in opposing U.S. attacks on the heroic island nation.

To sign the petition, go to: https://petitions.ourcommons.ca/en/Petition/Sign/e-3640

It also calls on the Government of Canada to ensure that Ottawa's policy and relations with Cuba do not mirror or follow Washington's diktat.

The petition initiated by the Canadian Network On Cuba is sponsored by Niki Ashton, member of Canada's parliament for the federal constituency of Churchill—Keewatinook Aski in the province of Manitoba. It builds on the success of the previous petition (e-3456) during the last parliamentary session when 3,375 citizens and residents of Canada emphatically demanded an end to the U.S. economic siege and of Cuba.

An Open Letter to Party Leaders in the 2021 Federal Election of Canada, September 6, 2021 Print E-mail

 Re: Canada-Cuba Relations

I am writing to you on behalf of the Canadian Network On Cuba (CNC), which represents 22 Canada-Cuba friendship and solidarity organizations across Canada, ranging from Vancouver to Halifax, with over 50,000 in membership. Two of the CNC’s principal objectives are:

* bringing an end to U.S. economic sanctions against Cuba and
* ensuring that Canada’s relations with Cuba are based on equality and respect for the island nation's independence, sovereignty, and the right of self-determination.

Canadians - more than 3,900 - have already spoken clearly on these matters in two parliamentary petitions (e-2586 and e-3456) calling on the Government of Canada to actively oppose U.S. economic aggression against Cuba, and to ensure that Ottawa-Havana relations be maintained in accordance with established international law and diplomatic norms.

Dear Minister Garneau,

Re: Unjustified Attack on Cuba

We, in the CNC, are concerned about the extreme and humiliating pressure that the government of the United States is exerting on third countries to support a Joint Statement - it has written - unjustly condemning Cuba.
