My only real point of personal reference is a female friend of mine from Cuba who now lives in Florida who's opinion I trust. Her and her family have put together an impromptu party today to celebrate.
Edit: Her facebook today has numerous links to others celebrating.
2nd Edit: She has also been using the hashtag: "bouttime"

I can understand the mixed feelings, some Cubans loved Castro because he had that 'Bigger than Life' personality and there is an inherent dislike of Americans that he leaned on heavily.
But at the same time the man was an unapologetic tyrant with all of the distaste and misdeeds that go along with being a tyrant.
If anything people should be glad that this chapter in Cuban history has come to a close and hopefully some sort of progress can now be made.

I can't believe anyone is mourning this guys death. Disgusting. Give your heads a shake.
Absolutely disgusted and appalled by our Prime Minister as well. What a joke. #### you Trudeau.

In a statement, Trudeau wrote that “it is with deep sorrow that I learned today of the death of Cuba’s longest serving president.” He offered his “deepest condolences” on behalf of all Canadians.

Did you really need the green font? 
Guy was a doooosh. JT can pound sand about how sorry we are. When I watched this on the news last night as the story was just breaking, Global was talking about how Castro was a pallbearer at PET's funeral. Interesting.

#trudeaueulogies is comedy gold.
What a monumentally idiotic statement. Justin's deference to his father and some of his misguided doctrinaire politics and relationships has gotten him into trouble.

Justin is just following good ole dads playbook.
Castro was an icon to them in their fight to redistribute everyones wealth...except their own of course.

I don't know if that's how I see it.
Trudeau just wants to be seen as ultra-progressive leader. He wants the support of as many people as he can get, and doesn't want to be seen that he's offending somebody. After all, it is [current year].
Sometimes it leads to some stupid statements like this.

If he was trying to not piss people off, that statement wasnt the way to do that.

Even if his statement was neutral but made reference to Castro's monumental influence and that this was the end of an era.
Nope straight up supports him like they are old pals. So weird.

Sorry, i'm wording this badly.
He's sucking up and I can't explain why. Nobody could look at Castro's history and say the things Justin said with a straight face.

Yeah....Justin's response to this should have been cordial but non-committal.
This isnt Nelson Mandela dying here, its Fidel Castro, he overthrew the Government in a bloody coup and then ruled with an Iron Fist.
