Margaret remembers a long ago visit:
It marked a turning point in Canada’s relationship with Cuba, but Margaret Trudeau remembers the groundbreaking trip as one in which a dictator melted at the sight of her young baby.
In some of the photos of Pierre Trudeau’s closely followed 1976 trip to Cuba with Margaret and four-month-old Michel, Fidel Castro had a telltale stain on the front of his uniform, she remembers with a laugh.
[...]
She remembers Castro during that visit as a “very warm and charming man — I enjoyed him.”
I'm sure you did. I wonder if anyone remembers Augusto Pinochet with the same fondness. In the article the former Mrs Trudeau does acknowledge that the country had "a lot of human rights issues." That would be putting it very mildly.
