Dear Minister of Foreign Affairs,
On behalf of the Cuban Canadians Coalition, I am writing to respectfully urge the Government of Canada to reassess its current diplomatic engagement with the Republic of Cuba, particularly regarding the operation of the Cuban Embassy in Canada and Canada’s diplomatic presence on the Island.
Given the current political, economic, and human rights conditions in Cuba, we believe it is both reasonable and necessary for Canada to adopt a more measured and principled approach. Specifically, we call on the Government of Canada to consider closing the Cuban Embassy in Canada, allowing only a minimal consular presence strictly dedicated to essential immigration and administrative services.
At the same time, we encourage the Government to significantly reduce Canada’s diplomatic personnel in Cuba to the bare minimum required for basic consular functions.
This recommendation is grounded in several key considerations:
First, Canada’s foreign policy should consistently reflect its core democratic values, including respect for human rights, political freedoms, and the rule of law. The Cuban government’s longstanding record in these areas raises serious concerns. A recalibration of diplomatic engagement would send a clear and principled message, while preserving essential consular channels.
Second, there is currently a limited presence of Canadian citizens residing or operating in Cuba on a long-term basis. While tourism has historically played a role, the current realities on the island—marked by economic hardship, systemic shortages, and lack of fundamental freedoms—have diminished both the attractiveness and sustainability of a significant Canadian presence.
Third, maintaining a full diplomatic footprint in Cuba represents a considerable expense to Canadian taxpayers. At a time when public resources must be managed with efficiency and accountability, it is difficult to justify allocating funds to support an extensive diplomatic infrastructure in a country where Canada’s direct citizen-based interests remain limited.
Additionally, as reported by deserters from Cuban intelligence and former high-ranking officers of the Cuban regime, and confirmed by foreign intelligence services, Cuba’s diplomatic missions are systematically used as platforms for intelligence-gathering, surveillance activities directed at members of the Cuban exile community, and for recruiting agents in host governments and society at large to exert influence on behalf of the regime. These concerns further underscore the need for a cautious and security-conscious approach to diplomatic engagement with the Cuban dictatorship.
This proposal does not seek to eliminate communication or necessary services, but rather to align Canada’s diplomatic posture with fiscal responsibility and its commitment to democratic principles.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and trust that the Government of Canada will carefully evaluate this request in the broader context of its foreign policy priorities.
Sincerely,
Cuban Canadians Coalition
Eugenio Landeiro, a member of the Cuban Canadians Coalition (@cccoalition_ca), speaks on radio (@CFRAOttawa@ctvottawa) about the reality of the Cuban people and the ongoing humanitarian crisis that millions have endured for decades under a failed communist regime.
We extend our sincere thanks to @radioKristy for giving a voice to millions of Cubans and helping bring much-needed attention to this reality.

The Cuban people have endured 67 years of brutal oppression.
Their suffering is real. And it should not be used as a political prop or met with selective outrage only when convenient. Canada must do more.

🇺🇸🇨🇺‼️ | ÚLTIMA HORA — Desde la Oficina Oval, Marco Rubio dejó claro que no habrá alivio al embargo sin cambios políticos en Cuba y afirmó que el sistema comunista es una economía fallida que solo ha sobrevivido por subsidios externos que ya no existen. El secretario de Estado advirtió que quienes controlan el régimen no saben cómo resolver la crisis, reforzando la presión para un relevo en el poder.
⚠️⚠️#Urgente. Díaz-Canel aparece en reunión junto al nieto de Raúl Castro, ¨El Cangrejo¨ y confirma las negociaciones con el gobierno de EE.UU.
Es la primera vez que asumen públicamente que están conversando al máximo nivel.
@MagJorgeCastro Entonces, hay comunicación, hay negociaciones. ¿Por qué lo negaron antes? Siempre es lo mismo con ustedes: igualdad de condiciones, ¡no la hay! Y Cuba será soberana cuando sea capaz de autoabastecerse por sí misma y no vivir de limosnas.#CubaEstadoFallido#Libertad#Cambio
