| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Cuba is special, an anomaly in the hemisphere. The most infamous reason
for Cuba's outlying status is that this country of 11 million has had a hostile
relationship with the United States for over ?ve decades. For much of
this time, Havana was isolated by many other states in the region. Cuba's
relationship with Canada is unique in this regard since the ties between
Havana and Ottawa were never severed. This bilateral relationship remained
distinct despite pressure from Washington and changes of Canadian
government. Canada, meanwhile, has maintained its close allegiance with
the United States and has attempted at various times to use its friendship
with both states to bring the two sides together. Canada has also advocated
Cuba's inclusion in the region's international organizations. |
