I know some Canadians who have been there never to return.
they didn't return, because they probably got a nice place on the beach and are up to their ears in Cuban cigars and young senoritas. (either that, or you are telling an internet fairy tale.)
Do you like going on vacations to places where the secret police monitor all foreigners and all foreigners have government assigned minders to regulate their contact with the population?

When we went one of our fellow travellers was on his 19th trip. We spent one week in Havana on our own doing as we pleased. If the Secret Police were to visit people who were in contact with tourists they would be spending their time with sellers of counterfeit cigars and prostitution.
Most tourist spend their time at resorts so never get to know Cuba. It is much more open than most Americans think. Not a paradise but neither is Bermuda or Haiti. I know many who have been there multiple times. Some cabs are Lada and brand new Chinese and European cars. The old American cars are either like new or held together by wire and tape.

That is not Cuba. We stayed in a portion of Havana where even the tourist were not Anglo phone s even our hotel was mostly South Americans. No minder no one told us where we could go and only one day were we in tourist attractions.
We even ran into Americans travelling without US permissions. We plan on returning and doing more in the more remote areas.
Why does our government, especially the Republicans who are in charge of Congress, find it necessary to restrict us from travelling where we want. There is no restriction on travelling to communist China. I would really like to visit Cuba.
Weird that you care so much where people want to go on vacation.
Opening travel to Cuba makes it easier for smuggling and means Americans will be there injecting money into their economy.
Odd how liberals absolutely against having anything to do with South Africa during apartheid but they see nothing wrong with normalizing relations with Cuba. The oppressive dictatorship there being a left wing rather than right wing government is purely coincidental, I'm sure.

Is this meant to be a truism?

Nonsense. None of that is true.
