Havana - Cubans voted for a new National Assembly on Sunday in elections in which 614 candidate contested 614 seats. The opposition boycotted the elections.

Cuban leader Fidel Castro was one of the candidates. His brother Raúl Castro has announced that the new parliament will meet on 24 February, when it will decide whether to elect Fidel Castro to a seventh five-year term. The Cuban leader handed over power to his brother in July 2006 before he underwent gastrointestinal surgery.

hmm. Guess 007 Chief need to run down to get his free Cabanas and other fine Cuban ideals while he take a trip to Cuba? :-) <kidding..>

Sure you don't want a life time appointment to higher esteem and office Chief? :)

I don't smoke those nasty thangs, it's Louis that has the fetish for fine Cubano tobacco. As I understand it, he makes enough trips to BC every year to keep his humidor filled, and if he doesn't make it to Canuckistan, he has family who do, and don't mind doing his smuggling for him...

Nasty habit..

Darn Louis and I must share a connection to Vancouver BC eh? :)

Used to live up there but probably won't move back.. Who wants to live in a small and confining town? No thanks..
