What Has Five Years of Canadian Intervention Led to in Haiti?
A UN-sponsored Military Occupation, Canadian aid, but Haiti is porer than ever.
DID YOU KNOW: Canada's Two Largest Foreign Policy Committments are Afghanistan and Haiti
We know how the occupation in Afghanistan turned out - but do you know what we did in Haiti?
JOIN Kevin Pina for a special screening of his new film: "Haiti: We Must Kill All the Bandits!"
Pina was present during the 2004 coup and took exclusive footage. He stayed on to document the chaotic, two-year regime of human rights violations that was appointed by the UN and other foreign powers following President Aristide's overthrow. This unelected government received the first visit ever by a Canadian Prime Minister to Haiti, Paul Martin in November 2004.
SPECIAL! Haitian Parliamentarian Jean Candio to join tour!
Jean Candio was elected deputy to the Haitian parliament in May 2000. He was forced to leave Haiti in the violent aftermath of the 2004 coup. Prior to fleeing, his house was burned and many of his colleagues and some family members were killed. He arrived in Canada in December 2006 to seek refuge, but was arrested instead and held for 3 weeks by Canadian Border Services.
