Castro slams Harper in web posting

Fidel Castro posted a web message admonishing Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

The former leader of the communist regime wrote an editorial on Cuba’s government website called Stephen Harper’s Illusions.

According to the Canadian Press Castro criticized Harper for destroying Canada’s environment by extracting oil to bow down to U.S. needs.  He also condemned Canadian mining companies for backing harmful projects in Latin America affecting millions.

Castro ended his piece by expressing the irony in the fact that traditional Cuban-designed shirts will be worn by leaders at the Organization of American States summit next week when Cuba has been denied entry. 

Harper’s spokesman refused all requests for comment.
