As for the necessity to keep the people oppressed (under control),

Describing the motivation of former Canadian Minister
- Citation :
- “Time is running out because, it is estimated that Haiti’s population
- could reach 20 million in 2019,”. According to Vastel, Minister Denis Paradis
- went on and on during the meeting, describing Haiti’s 99 percent African population
- as “a time bomb which must be stopped immediately!”
So, Haiti’s very population is seen as a ‘threat” to some people.
The foreign troops are effectively deployed to contain that "threat".
On the geopolitical front, Haiti is also an easy prey
that offers enticing political rewards.
Take for instance the following statement from a former
Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs:
“there is a limit to how much we can constantly say no
to the political masters in Washington.
All we had was Afghanistan to wave.
On every other file we were offside.
Eventually we came onside on Haiti, so we got another arrow in our quiver.”

on this matter for years now.
I never have received any kind of response…
I am not aware of any Canadian Parliamentarian,

As can be seen in the Records of Parliament (available online),
the matter was discussed before the coup as well as after.
The quote from Stockwell Day which we include
dates from March 10, 2004.
As a member of the Conservative opposition
he was then questioning the wisdom of the Liberal Government
to participate in the illegal and violent removal of a sovereign
and “friendly” people’s Head of State.
However, I have yet to hear Mr. Day, whose party is now in power,
say or do anything about reversing the barbaric,
racist and illegal actions he had once questioned.
As for other voices that were raised on the Hill about the coup,
there are a few timid ones.
For instance, records of a March 19, 2003 Senate hearing
titled “Meeting on Regime Change in Haiti”
include Senator Consiglio Di Nino inquiring about a
“secret initiative referred to as the “Ottawa Initiative on Haiti”
that is being led by the Secretary of State for La Francophonie.”
The Senator asked: “Can the leader of the government in the Senate
tell us if this meeting actually took place?”
to which Liberal Senator Sharon Carstairs answered:
“I cannot honestly say whether this meeting took place.
had asked for a release of the full unaltered minutes of
“The Ottawa Initiative on Haiti”. This was never done, as far as I know.
Thus, it is left to individual Canadians to tell the world
that we are not all a bunch of racist bullies.
Over 700 signatures on the online letter is a good start but,
regardless of the volume of well-orchestrated propaganda about
“Canadian aid to Haiti” the embedded media shall no doubt
continue to spread - also in our name, ordinary Canadians
will need to do much more to deserve and to regain
the respect of Haitians who actually know what really happened.
On February 28th, in Gatineau, Québec,
site of the infamous “Ottawa Initiative on Haiti”,
a Press Conference will take place at 11 a.m.
During the Press Conference the Letter of Apology to Haiti
will be read in public and handed to Haiti’s
Leading Human Rights Lawyer Mario Joseph.

will also join the panel.

January 12, 2012 - "President" Michel Martelly and his wife greet former Haitian dictator
Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier at a ceremony to commemorate
the earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010.
Duvalier was supposedly under orders not to leave the capital of Port au Prince
before he stands trial for crimes against humanity
including political murder and torture.
(note: Bill Clinton is in background with jaw agape as Martelly greets Duvalier).

There they stood smiling on "Titanyen", site of a known mass grave of victims

Current U.S.-installed puppet president Michel Martelly was also on the podium.

Subject: Question Mr. Sait-Vil Re: Canada & International Banditry Against Haiti
Dear Mr. Sanit-Vil:
Re: http://www.apologytohaiti.ca/
Why is N. America & France interested in keeping Haiti and it's people so oppressed ? - Is it for the cheap labour for the few Canadian and American manufacturers operating in Haiti ?
I have been writing to various Prime Ministers on this matter for years now. - I never have received any kind of response.
I am deeply ashamed of Canada, it's Parliamentarians, our Opposition Leaders, - and it's citizens for the lack of interest in the suffering of the Haitian people.
They say what goes around comes around. If something similar happens - to Canada, Canadians will deserve it.
I am not aware of any Canadian Parliamentarian, except for Stockwell Day, - who has spoken out on this matter. That was years ago. Am I badly informed ?
Sincerely,
Stephanie ..., Nanaimo, B. C.
