- John Ivison: Canada walks a fine line on Cuba
-
Peter Kent has spent much of the past six months in places like Bogota, Port of Spain and San Salvador but he’s not yet been our man in Havana.
The newly-minted Minister of State for the Americas’ recent visit to the Cuban capital was cancelled after he angered the Castro regime by meeting with a political dissident.
But the former TV news journalist may yet find himself persona grata in Havana, depending on how he handles a tricky diplomatic mission next week in Honduras - the re-integration of Cuba into the family of American states.
Mr. Kent is scheduled to attend the General Assembly of the Organization of American States in San Pedro Sula next Tuesday. The hot ticket on the agenda is a move by a number of Latin American countries to have the suspension of Cuba’s OAS membership lifted - a proposal that threatens to cause Mr. Kent no end of headaches as he attempts to extend Canada’s influence in the Western Hemisphere.
