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. |
