Ye gods! It must've cost a fortune to build one of those. 'Course, she can afford it.

#6  Do Revenue Canadienne tax consultants get paid in hard currency or 16 year olds?

#5  No surprise: Teresa is funding Cuba. I'm sure she'll be grilled hard about it when NYT and Boston Globe ask probing questions. No problem, there

No surprise: Canadian Lefty NGO's are helping out Cuba. I'm sure they'll be grilled hard by Canadian press.

Surprise: Cuban tax law is based on Canada's system. Can somebody please explain? What is Fidel's capital gains tax rate? Is his mortgage deductible? Do Revenue Canadienne tax consultants get paid in hard currency or 16 year olds?

#4  Hmmm a server in Havana with much of the hard drive taken up with loving photo montages of all the accomplishments of Fidel in *ahem* Utopia.

The URL is probably something like: www.fidel.cu
Although it might not work from here in the US. . . .

#1  "The Toronto-based Web/Nirv, Canadian affiliate of the Institute for Global Communications (IGC) and its offshoot the Association for Progressive Communications (APC), used a 64 KBPS undersea cable IP link from Havana to Sprint in the United States, linking Cubans to the Information Highway."

So the entire nation of Cuba is linked to the Internet through a single connection that has about 1/10th the bandwidth of my home cable modem hookup?

Wow, the wonders that modern socialism can achieve...
