We would have. Canada has no issue with Cuba and helps out regularly, even to the loud objections from our cousins to the south (when the U.S. isn't blocking our shipments there). My inlaws have been going every year for the last 17 years and every year they bring two large extra suitcases full of common items that are hard for people to get their (school supplies, clothes, shoes, soaps and other odds and ends). All the locals know them and are very appreciative. There's a huge difference between Havana, Santiago de Cuba, and the country side. They stay in the country side and not the huge resorts. Plus, there are an aweful lot of Italian and German interests there so I suspect there would be at least some help from the Europeans. There apparently is a biotech firm there that has developed cancer treatment drugs that not only stop certain cancers, but force them into remission. The U.S. is blocking their efforts by keeping those drugs from getting approval. Ah there I go again......don't get me started.....[:@]
