What I cannot understand is why there is still sanctions against Cuba

They are there because Castro is not trust worthy in the least. With out a doubt he was willing to sacrifice all of Cuba in a nuclear war. He has cost the Cuban ppl their dignity, and their prosperity. If Castro had done what he said he was going to do in the beginning, Cuba would be in far better shape.

Slowly and surely, the Cuban embargo will drift away until Mr. Castro will be dining at the White House and toasting the trade agreeemt!

Or perhaps we could say, the Cuban embargo will be lifted, when Castro is dinning in hell. The White House and Cuba will toast the new trade agreement.

Louis did a lot of great things, although certainly not alone, no politician can do that. Most of his ideas came from others, he was smart enough to implement them. However, many of his industrial reforms were not as successful as his social reforms, primarily due to the fact of being a 'have not' province and having little leverage. Jim Irving always said that his father "won every election", but it could easily be argued that not those ones, however, looking at New Brunswick now Irving is still there and the province hasn't improved overall (not badmouthing Louis, certainly acadians are far better off) At his last televised interview the last question was "what's next for Louis Robichaud?" When he answered 'retirement', I'm sure this was what he was thinking as it was well known he was ill. And boy did he have a hell of a hot wife! A footnote to history is the COR party in New Brunswick in the early nineties which was the official opposition who basically had one theme-anti-bilingualism.
