Mexico or Cuba…
Listen up people: As much as it pains me to support a communist dictatorship, you’re better off going to CUBA than Mexico.
A Canadian tourist wounded as her boyfriend was shot and killed in a Mexican resort city is still in Mexico and receiving consular service, Foreign Affairs officials told CBC News on Monday. Bouabal Bounthavorn, 29, was shot three times in the head by a lone gunman Thursday night in his room at Hotel Riu in Cabo San Lucas, according to police.
His girlfriend, 24-year-old Masha Heikali of Burnaby, B.C., was shot in the foot, authorities said. Foreign Affairs on Monday would not give any more information on her whereabouts or condition, citing the Privacy Act.
The Canadian Press reported Monday that Mexican police have placed Heikali in protective custody.
State police commander Enrique Wuilar said authorities have no leads or motive in the killing.
Look, we can spin this all day, but a democracy like Mexico is NOT the same as our democracy. Law and order rules over here, not so much over there.
And even if you ignore the wallet-friendly prices Cuba is offering, you can still acknowledge that Cuba has an excellent record on keeping tourists safe.
So Mexico is out if you ask me. I know they’re part of NAFTA and we should be working with them, but Mexico fails us every year. It fails the US every year. Nuff said.
