By Joe Emersberger - March 11, 2010
History shows that the most dangerous people in Haiti are not the poor, but...Haitian businessmen who financed coups in 1991 and 2004 and who urge the UN and the police to be even more brutal; the UN troops and Haitian police who have terrorized places like Bel Air and Cite Soleil; and Canadian officials always ready with money, excuses and lies in support of criminal polices.

Shakedown as the Earth Shakes

While this will not be a full list by any means, it seems relevant to note that Canadian banks, especially the Bank of Montreal, have a large presence in Haiti. The Montreal-based Gildan Activewear, the largest blank t-shirt manufacturer in the world, has production based out of Haitian sweatshops...Finally, there is the issue of how Canada ‘aids’ Haiti. For starters, Canada has mostly provided tied aid – a full 66% of Canadian aid must be spent in Canada...[I]t seems that it is in Canada’s [economic] interest to keep Haiti poor.
