hand power: Friday, according to Huffington Post Canada. He ended the announcement by shouting the revolutionary slogan Toward victory, always! Castro reign over the island-nation 90 miles 145 kilometres from Florida was marked by the U.S.-backed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis a year later that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. With a shaking voice, President Raul Castro said on state television that his older brother died at 10 29 p.m. The bearded revolutionary, who survived a crippling U.S. trade embargo as well as dozens, possibly hundreds, of assassination plots, died 10 years after ill health forced him to hand power over to Raul. On behalf of all Canadians, Sophie and I offer our deepest condolences to the family, friends and many, many supporters of Mr. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who visited Cuba last month, issued a statement from the summit of la Francophonie in Antananarivo, Madagascar, expressing his deep sorrow over the news of Castro death.
