Meanwhile, here in Canada, Justin Trudeau is getting clobbered from the newly-invigorated right for calling Castro "remarkable" and "a legendary revolutionary". Now, I think JT chose his words carefully (though he needn't have bothered): love'm or hate'm, no thinking person can deny that Castro was "remarkable", that he was "legendary", and that he was a "revolutionary". JT did NOT say he was "wonderful" or a "hero" - but he might as well have, for the foaming-at-the-mouth reaction he's been getting. Apparently, he was supposed to use the occasion of Castro's death to spew hatred.

One dingbat reporter asked JT if he would deny that Castro was a "dictator" - the implication being that if you think him "remarkable" and "a legendary revolutionary", you cannot acknowledge that was a dictator. So now the news story is that JT heaps unqualified praise on Castro - BUT admits that he was a dictator. The implication being that JT is all mixed up. Or that he doesn't believe in democracy. Or something.
