Re: Canada-Cuba Relations
I am writing to you on behalf of the Canadian Network On Cuba (CNC), which
represents Canada-Cuba friendship and solidarity organizations across Canada,
ranging from Vancouver to Halifax and with over 50,000 in membership. One of the
CNC’s principal objectives is advocating that Canadian foreign policy regarding
Cuba remains based on equality and respect for sovereignty and the right of selfdetermination. Consequently, the CNC is deeply concerned by recent decisions and
actions of the Government of Canada. Canadians are very worried that recent
developments in Ottawa-Havana relations could lead to the mirroring of the policy of
the United States.

-Isaac Saney, CNC Spokesperson, July 21, 2019 -
July 26, 2019 marks the 66th anniversary of the act that is annually celebrated all over Cuba as the beginning of the movement and struggle that paved the way for the Cuban Revolution.
On that day 66-years ago, Cuba’s rebels rose up against the U.S.- supported dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Although that first battle was lost, the Revolution ultimately prevailed on January 1, 1959. |

Moncada: Affirming History, Independence and the Cause of Peace and Justice |
|
|
- Isaac Saney, Spokesperson, Canadian Network On Cuba -
On July 26, 1953, a group of courageous young men and women -- led by Fidel Castro -- attacked the Moncada Barracks in the city of Santiago de Cuba, and the Carlos Manuel de Cespedes Barracks in Bayamo, in an attempt to overthrow the U.S. supported puppet dictator Fulgencio Batista. As the island's second largest military garrison, the Moncada Barracks was critical to Batista's military control of southern Cuba. The goal was to seize the weapons and distribute them to the people and spark a national uprising that would not only overthrow the Batista dictatorship but also establish Cuba's independence and sovereignty. This heroic act is annually commemorated all over Cuba as the beginning of the movement and struggle that laid the foundation of the Cuban Revolution. |
