Your Excellency,

The Canadian Network On Cuba greets you on the 52^nd anniversary of the triumph of the Cuban Revolution, which will be celebrated on January 1st, 2011 across Cuba and the globe. We extend to the Cuban people and its revolutionary leadership, warmest congratulations on this magnificent occasion. Facing many challenges, including unrelenting aggression of the government of the United States, the Cuban people have demonstrated that it is possible to realize genuine independence and self-determination. Through these 52 years of fidelity to the principles of social justice, human dignity and international solidarity, Cuba has been and continues to be an inspiration to Canadians and to all the peoples of the world.

As Cuba confidently marches forward into the second decade of the 21st century, the CNC reaffirms its commitment to work to strengthen and deepen the ties of friendship and solidarity between the Canadian and Cuban people, and resolves to do the utmost to achieve the freedom of the five Cuban Heroes unjustly imprisoned in the U.S. for defending their country from terrorism.

Once more we declare as so many have done for the past 52 years: ¡Viva la Revolución Cubana!

On behalf of the Canadian Network On Cuba

Isaac Saney

Co-chair & national Spokesperson
