Solidarity with Cuba was on full display in Montreal.
United by their love and solidarity for Cuba, various organizations, solidarity groups, and Cuban residents gathered in the Canadian city of Montreal to welcome Cuba’s new Consul General, Yamari Pérez, and reaffirm their support for the Cuban Revolution.
Members of the Quebec-Cuba Solidarity Roundtable and Cuban residents in Montreal called this Sunday for the lifting of the economic, financial, and commercial blockade imposed by the United States more than six decades ago.
The demonstrators gathered peacefully, as they do on the last Sunday of every month, in front of the U.S. Consulate in Montreal, carrying Cuban flags and signs expressing support for the Caribbean nation.
They also demanded an end to Washington’s escalating aggression and forcefully declared: “No to war against Cuba!”
Cuba’s Consul in Toronto, Tania Valenzuela Veiga, attended the 62nd Annual Convention of the Ontario division of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE).
During the event, Valenzuela Veiga conveyed a message of gratitude to CUPE Ontario for its years of solidarity with Cuba and condemned the cruel and unjust blockade against the island.
Cuba’s Consul in Montreal, Ángel Torres, denounced on Thursday before representatives of North American trade unions the escalation of U.S. aggressions against the island, the tightening of the blockade, and the absurd accusation against the leader of the Cuban Revolution, Army General Raúl Castro.
