This Week on GR

Not content with just aiding and abetting the ruination of countries on the other side of the World, Canada has announced its intention of doing likewise in the western hemisphere’s most benighted nation, Haiti. In many ways, it’s really just more of the same for the Great White North, which has meddled in and actively undermined any and every prospect for independence and prosperity there.
The latest iteration of Canada’s determination to help Haiti was delivered by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Melanie Joly, who on top of sanctions already in place, and allocations of millions of dollars to the Haitian National Police, voiced her support for the United Nations decision to again intervene militarily in Haiti saying, “Canada has always been involved in issues related to Haiti. We will continue to be… We want to do more.” What “more” means may be revealed during this week’s Canada-CARICOM Summit, started in Ottawa this morning.
Yves Engler is an independent, Montreal-based journalist, activist, and author. He’s written twelve books on Canadian foreign policy, including ‘Canada in Haiti: Waging War on the Poor Majority’, co-authored with Anthony Fenton. Yves hosts the Canadian Foreign Policy Hour online every Monday at 6pm eastern time.

And; as the appalling situation in Palestine worsens, populations and countries around the World are demanding a stop to Israel’s grotesque violation of international human rights law. But where it counts, in the UN Security Council, there’s been no action since the bloody assault against Gaza’s captive population began. Yesterday, even Russia’s anodyne resolution to condemn the violence was vetoed by the council, with no other motions proposed.
John Helmer is a journalist and author who’s spent decades living in
and reporting from Russia. Principle behind the web news site, Dances
with Bears, Helmer has too been a professor of political science,
sociology, and journalism, and served as advisor to governments at the
highest levels.
Among his many book titles are: ‘Skripal in Prison,’ ‘The Man Who Knows
Too Much About Russia,’ ‘The Jackals’ Wedding: American Power, Arab
Revolt’, ‘The Lie That Shot Down MH-17’, and his latest, ‘SOVCOMPLOT:
How Pirates Tried to Capture the Treasure of the Russian Seas, and Were
Caught Out’. John’s latest article at Dances with Bears is, ‘WHITE FLAG
IN A BLACK HOLE — IS RUSSIAN NEUTRALITY A FORCE OR A TRADE?’

But first, Yves Engler and are Canada’s Haiti aid policies paved with good intent?
