Why Is Cuba Getting Crushed and Nobody's Talking About It?

Mark Carney's Liberals just won three by-elections while he was overseas addressing the European Parliament, and Matt Gurney, journalist and columnist at Read The Line, questions why the Prime Minister wasn't in Canada's own instead. Matt explains why the United States has been kinder to its adversaries than its own allies lately, and where he thinks Canada sits in coming to terms with that shift compared to Europe. He also raises the case of Cuba, caught in the same pattern and barely part of the conversation, and the pointed question about who America goes after when it needs a smaller target.
