The CBC has a Haiti story on view that pretty much verifies everything I've been saying for years, here and here for example.
Marylynn Steckley, a Canadian researcher, concludes after living in-country for six years that our "help" is destroying the country.
Duh!
And the pot-addled blogger didn't even have to spend six years there to figure out the obvious!
So Bill and Hillary and their Hollywood A-list cheerleaders have brought 5,000 sweatshop jobs to Haiti.
Wow!
5000 lucky Haitians are now working poor instead of unemployed poor!
As Canadians we've been more than complicit in damning the people of Haiti to their never-ending nightmare. We proudly assisted in forcing the democratically elected leader of the country from office. Twice.
That's somehow justified by some vague appeal to a racist truism that assumes us white folks know what's best for everybody else.
(Of course we do! The darkies went and elected the obviously insane Aristide into power... we had to save them from themselves by installing a safe stooge like Michel Martelly.)
Haiti is living proof that we don't.
Not that more proof was needed...

Sean Penn hobnobs with America-haters at Chavez funeral
That's more or less the spin you're going to find when you google "Sean Penn Chavez funeral."
Yup, just another Hollywood liberal sucking up to the world-wide conspiracy to tear down America.
The only problem with that theory is that it's wrong on every level. Hugo Chavez was a great fan of American culture and American people and American baseball.
What he could not abide was American foreign policy.
The Beltway twats in charge of that foreign policy would do well to peruse the list of heads of state attending that funeral.
How many of those countries get American "aid" in one form or another?
Your "aid" has obviously not deterred them from honoring a man whom the American government has gone out of its way to portray as an anti-democratic, anti-American despot.
Which brings me back to Sean Penn.
The think tank here at Falling Downs has commended Penn for his efforts to assist Haiti. We have also said he is much too cosy with current Haiti boss Michel Martelly.
Martelly was at the Chavez funeral too. What this suggests is that within the so-called non-aligned states attendance was seen as something of a halo-polishing strategy. Martelly was Haiti's popular choice for President only because the real popular choice is banished from the land, not by Haitians, but by the US.
Aristide has far more in common with Chavez than Martelly ever will.
Sean Penn knows this, and he should stand up and say so.
