And replace it with an oppressive capitalist regime willing to sell the country to American capital, don’t forget that part. We already fucking know what America bringing “democracy” means, and nobody with any decency should be cooperating with that. Clearly Canada’s goal is to not (or at least look like they won’t) let America starve Cuba to death.

As opposed to western governments that kill other people’s citizens?
99% of the time I’d agree with you, but Canada is close enough to Cuba that I can see it happening.
