Blackie dodges Haiti duty!

Canada on sidelines as Haiti finally gets an armed intervention against gang violence

Back in February, the Caricom group of Caribbean nations met in Nassau to discuss ways to reduce the chaos and violence in its biggest member state — Haiti.

Bahamian Prime Minister Philip Davis acknowledged that the problem was too big for the bloc of small island nations to deal with on its own.

“What we at CARICOM have come to appreciate is that we do not have the resources to be able to deal with the Haiti problem ourselves, and we do need outside help,” he said.

… The story of Canada’s involvement in Haiti over the past two years is above all a story of a government determined not to get drawn into a potential quagmire.

I find myself oddly in agreement with Bytown Blackie.
