All Out to Defeat U.S. Attempts to Crush Revolutionary Cuba and All Conciliation with U.S. Aims
All Out to Support Cuba, Its Government and People!
Cuban President Miguel
Díaz-Canel leads the annual torchlight march to honour
José Martí from the University of Havana, January
27, 2026. Díaz-Canel reaffirmed his country's
determination to move forward despite U.S. threats against it.
The amount of disinformation about what is taking place in Cuba is increasing. The underlying premise of the disinformation is that the government of Cuba, not the U.S. administration, is responsible for the conditions the Cuban people are suffering as they wage a life and death struggle for their right to be. For 67 years, the U.S. has done everything in its power to crush Cuba to no avail.
The aim of this disinformation promoted by official circles, their media and counter-revolutionaries is to sow pessimism about Cuba's future and its capacity to resist and prevail so as to deprive it of support. It also tries to cover up the amount of support for Cuba expressed by working people of Quebec and Canada who hold Cuba in the highest regard.
Now
is the time to turn the close ties, friendship, support and love for
Cuba and its people into concrete acts of support for the Cuban
people's resistance to the all-sided blockade against that island
nation whose generosity to all those all over the world in need is
without parallel. Now is
the time to provide Cuba with all-out humanitarian assistance and
relieve their shortage of energy as a result of genocidal measures the
U.S. is implementing. This is a time to once again join the efforts of
the Republic of Cuba, its government and people to defeat the vicious
inhuman U.S. blockade
which is now impeding all imports of oil in a desperate attempt to
destroy the Cuban economy and bring the people to their knees. The
salient feature of the genocidal U.S. campaign is its aim to extinguish
the human right of the Cuban people to life itself. All acts of
blackmail and coercion
exercised against other governments to "dissuade" them from providing
Cuba with all-out support at this time must be opposed with all the
contempt they deserve.
The Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist) calls on its members, supporters and sympathizers to involve working people from all walks of life to take whatever concrete measures they can to support the Cuban people and help Cuba withstand this latest assault against the right to be of the Cuban people. Let us smash the attempts to promote passivity and despondency by going all out amongst our families, friends, neighbours, co-workers, unions and other organizations to provide concrete information and whatever material aid we can.
It is also crucial to vigorously express rejection of any stands on the part of Canadian officials, cartel party leaders and media which conciliate with the use of blackmail and coercion on the part of the U.S. administration to isolate Cuba. For instance, the official stand of the government of Canada to issue travel advisories to discourage tourism to Cuba is deliberately disinforming. Not only does the government remain silent about how important it is to preserve the role that tourism plays in funding social programs in Cuba and looking after the peoples' well-being, but it also does not propose alternative locations where airlines could refuel going to and from Cuba, as do all the other airlines which are not cutting back on their flights to Cuba. The aim of the travel advisories is suspect. Tourists are cared for in Cuba and their needs are looked after. How does it serve Canada to hamper tourism to Cuba, instead of finding other ways to make sure the airlines can refuel, such as on neighbouring islands, for instance?
Tourists sought out by media to corroborate the stand of the government of Canada that travel to Cuba is dangerous or a disaster or inadvisable have, on the contrary, corroborated how well tourists are cared for. Listening to those who tell the truth shows the well-organized measures being taken by the government of Cuba and organizations at every level, backed up by the people, to use all available resources in a rational way, making sure nobody is left to fend for themselves.
The promotion of the counter-revolutionary conception that Cuba is a
failed state, presented as if this is "unfortunate," a matter of truth
"like it or not," is unacceptable. So is the constant talk on the part
of conciliators which goes so far as to suggest that Canada must put
its own interests in first place, calling this "values-based realism."
What are the values? What is the realism?
Saying that throwing
Cuba under the bus is okay because Canada does not want to annoy U.S.
President Donald Trump when it is trying to get his cooperation to
engage in free trade talks, is not okay. It is not values-based. It is
not "realism." To suggest that the same Trump that the Prime Minister
has told the entire world cannot be counted on for anything, can be
counted on to engage in rational free trade talks is ridiculous. On
principle, it must be opposed.
CPC(M-L) calls on its members, sympathizers and all working people to oppose attempts by the government of Canada, cartel party leaders, media and pundits to get away with insinuations that the Government of Cuba is "not transparent," that it does not uphold human rights, that it is the cause of the intolerable situation its people are facing. Today, when the entire world has seen that it is the United States that engages in and sponsors state terrorism, violates human rights and engages in extreme violence, any attempt to divert attention away from the need to oppose the U.S. measures against Cuba must be opposed. It is a matter of conscience. It is a matter of principle. It is a matter of honour.
Providing concrete support for Cuba at this time of great need is the criterion by which Canada will be judged. It requires supporting Cuba without equivocation. It requires the kind of courage, honesty and conviction which clearly reveal the kind of democracy, freedom and sovereignty the government claims it stands for. Let the working people lead the way by expressing concrete support for Cuba and demanding the government do the same.
All Out to Reject Use of Blackmail and Coercion to Isolate Cuba!
