I visited Cuba twice on vacation.
Well, Canadians, along with contries in Europe, actually trade with each other. The Americans got into some kind of conflict, and they put their foot down, America said "I'm not trading with you!", and Cuba said "Your not allowed in my county!" (notice how there is no Coke-a-Cola, or 7up, Sprite eyc.. in Cuba. Instead they use Fanta: 7up/Sprite, and some other rip of Coke.) The funny part is, there is still an American base in Cuba.
The only way into Cuba (if your American), is to get a special permission, just like they did in the movie Sicko.

I'd imagine it's because Cuba is a completely different society. People always go to third world countries to experience a differnet way of life, and Cuba is right on Canada's doorstep.
A lot of people in England go to Eastern European countries because they are less developed, and still have relics from the communist era, plus because they're part of the EU, it's cheap and easy to get there.
But America, is fifty miles away from Cuba. Read my other post.
