Does moving to Cuba automatically make you a communist?  Maybe not, but moving to a communist country won’t put you in Tony Clement’s good books—unless you did so in the 1930’s.  As the National Post reports, the Minister of Fake Lakes criticized a Globe and Mail editor who was moving to Castro country, where his wife works for an NGO or something.  He interrupted his Twitter tirade, however, to cut the red ribbon on a new visitor’s centre at the Norman Bethune Memorial House, named for that great Canadian hero who saved many lives—in Communist China under Mao.

“My point was to celebrate things other than his communism. You chose to live in a communist country. Big difference,” Clement tweeted.  Then again, Bethune also chose to live in a communist country, but I guess that didn’t make him a bad guy.  The Sun News Network remains unequivocal, however.  “Today @tonyclementCPC gave $2.5 million of your tax dollars to honour Mao apologist Bethune. Mao killed over 60 million.”  I don’t think Bethune had a hand in any of those deaths, but I digress…
