US sanctions strangle Venezuelan economy

Finally, an honest headline about Venezuela on the CBC!

Well, not quite. The full headline reads “Venezuala exodus passes four million as US sanctions strangle Venezuela economy.”

The exodus.

The sanctions.

The strangulation…

Canada’s shameful “leadership” of the Lima Group is aiding and abetting the strangulation of Venezuela. Does anybody think that it’s Maduro and his buddies who are skipping meals because of this strangulation?

Of course not. We, the politically correct and infinitely virtuous people of Canada, are fully aboard with America’s strangulation of Venezuela’s economy, realizing full well that it’s the little people who are most hurt by those sanctions.

Hurt enough to flee their country in the millions, according to this story.

And if we persevere, if we help Uncle Sam tighten the noose around the neck of the Venezuelan people, maybe, eventually, those desperate people will acquiesce to having a leader imposed who they never voted for.

That will be a tremendous victory for democracy and freedom!
