A Work of Hopeful Fiction Folks

Prime Minister Carney has been considering some form of action to assist the People of Cuba who have been suffering terribly due to domestic mismanagement and American Blockades halting much of its needed trade with the world, stunting its energy, medical and economic programs.

American blockades and diplomatic influences along with domestic mismanagement have nearly ruined the Cuban Economy. Most of Cuba’s energy source comes from Venezuela and that source’s tape has been halted by America. No energy supply, no hydro for private and institutional uses, no transportation or national business progress. Everything is at a stand still. Black-outs happen daily so food cannot be preserved, hospitals cannot successful function. This is a national disaster waiting to happen and get worst yet. America has threatened invasion and the Cuban Military were and are not capable of halting any form of invasion.

The Canadian Governmental Legislature met and quickly decided to carry out a three point plan.

1. Send Canadian Petroleum via massive ship transport, with Canadian Battle Ships and Cruisers as Peace Keeping Convoys. Their job was to keep Cuban and American forces apart from one another until the Petroleum arrived and was distributed to Cubans in need.

2. Medical Supplies along with Volunteer Emergency Services Personnel on a three-six paid month stint serving the Cuban Public.

3. Challenge America’s thuggish economic and diplomatic attitudes while performing a national act of charity, one neighbor to another.

Prime minister Carney could not challenge President Trumps chaotic, anti-Canadian attitudes in any other way. Because of the President’s disharmonious actions and dalliance towards finding opportunity within international discord Canada needed a way to be empathetic, resourceful and creative in its methodology. How do you make the most powerful man in the world feel bad about his action? Be Better than Him! Have the world see Canadians for what they are, Keepers of Peace, supporters of Humanity and the common good.

The operation went off without a hick up, except for the few hours Trump tried to block the Canadians from Cuban Waters. Someone in the White House had pointed out to President Trump that any action against Canadian Forces would be an act of war, and the political optics showed that most of the world supported Canada’s actions.

These actions propelled Prime Minister Carney to a second term. NATO members openly supported the Canadians attempts to be there for a national neighbor. Canadian Military Policy shifted from the present short term actions to support an ally to long term alliances with continental ramifications. President Trump would announce that these Canadian Actions were his idea, his concept realized by his good friend Prime Minister Carney. Political and economic optics aside, Cuba and Canada became political, financial and social friends that presented Canadian Business with untold opportunities in Cuba and the Caribbean Region.

Empathy, Human Indulgences and Canadian Know how achieved a principled and lasting peace in the Caribbean Region. Canadian Courage shown to all, for what it is worth.

Eco-political, social and business policy set aside with a firm concentration upon the needs of humanity.

What benefits this oppression of a people? Liberty comes from the heart, not the pocketbook.
