- Crisis and Uprising: Canada's Role in Haiti
This webinar addresses the current crisis and mass protests in Haiti. It will also delve into the role Canada has played from destabilizing and helping to oust an elected government in 2004 to participating in a coalition of foreign representatives that openly dictate to Haitian leaders. During the current crisis, Canada is now leading the diplomatic push for a new foreign military intervention.
Speakers:

The documentry; "Another Vision" on Haiti will bring tears to eyes.
Jah & Jahes love. This wonderful event featured some of the most articulate and well-informed people on the issue that Ayiti is struggling with today. I learned so much from each speaker, and I feel energized and encouraged about my ability to demand that my government in the U.S. adopt a different approach to foreign policy in Ayiti with less interference, emphasizing cooperation between the two Nations States. I will work hard to donate to the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute as soon as possible. I am thankful for all your work on Canada's role in bringing about the deplorable conditions in Ayiti. And I look forward to other conferences that the CFPI holds on the subject. Blessed love.#1804 #Ayiti #ToutMounseMoun #HousingfortheHomelessNow #AboiishCPS #DefundFosterCare #ProChoice

well done CFPI for yet another superb event, from start to finish from Vijay's great opening remark, to the super panel of Jean Saint-Vil, Brian Concannon, and El Jones who so glad could make it to do her poetry and wonderful remarks of respect for Haiti and solidarity. great job CFPI this and the event with Medea Benjamin and Dimitri Lascaris is such a much needed counter to the fake news and junk findings of NGOS propping up naked imperial agression. so much more I can type, but honestly just can't praise enough the superb two events of last week, keep up the great work!

Join the HAITIAN Revolution for FREEDOM
August 1791- Present...
In Haiti, we coexist in an organized anarchy, where the rules are written by the powerful for the powerful, and justice is an illusion always concealed and manipulated. Haiti's destiny is tormented by a monstrous adversary, an enemy lurking in the shadows, feeding on the country's vulnerabilities and devouring our future: the Core Group. This coalition, made up of powerful nations like the United States of America, Canada, France and others, which has an absolute hold on the country and our fellow citizens. The Core Group is an obstacle to Haiti's progress, stifling our growth and undermining our sovereignty. They erected invisible barriers to subjugate our leaders, and Haiti in order to plunder our resources. The Core Group has infiltrated all the institutions of the country, from the National Police of Haiti to civil organizations, and controls all the wheels of power. Their harmful influence on the country contributed to impoverish the most vulnerable populations, that is to say the peasants while enriching the importers and the large multinationals. But the Core Group is not alone in this crusade against Haiti's prosperity. They has a willing accomplice, an ideology that has spread like a cancer throughout the country: neoliberalism. This ruthless doctrine, with its twisted belief in the free market and individualism, has helped fuel Haiti's woes, exploit its resources, and bleed the Haitian people dry.
Our problem is that a few private sector culprits fund the corruption that pits political leaders against each other. We have these terrorist organizations and this social banditry because of these oligarchs set up by the Core group through neoliberalism. Some members of the private sector preserve their status by crushing others, exploiting existing weaknesses within the state structure. These foreign profiteers disguised as the private sector have instilled a culture of corruption, nepotism and clientelism, plundering the national wealth at will. This allows them to improve their power within society, even if it means sacrificing the needs and rights of the Haitian people. The self-preservation of these white collar criminals is the real cause of pain and misery in Haiti. It is an endless nightmare, where the future of the country is dark and hopeless. We are under a dictatorship. The country's political system is run by a gang of power-hungry and unscrupulous individuals who rule without legitimacy or authority - unconstitutional. Political power has become a tool for the personal enrichment of the so-called “private sector”, dragging down the deprived and exploited Haitian population under the grip of the infamous Core group. Influence peddling, unfair competition, corruption and impunity are scourges that harm our economy and our democracy. It is high time to put an end to all these dishonest practices that plague our society. We must act now to restore fairness and justice to our country. It is unacceptable that some people can take advantage of their position to obtain undue advantages, to the detriment of the majority.
Together, the Core Group and neoliberalism have formed an unholy alliance, a force that works tirelessly to keep Haiti in chains. They have created a system of dependency, a vicious cycle of indebtedness and exploitation that leaves the country in shock. They stripped Haiti of its dignity, culture and resources, leaving only poverty, chaos and despair in their wake. Neoliberalism is a cancer that devours the wealth and dignity of the Haitian nation, a scourge that can only be defeated through collective and determined action. Only a massive mobilization of all the living forces of the country will be able to break the chains which hinder the development of Haiti and allow the nation to take flight towards a bright future. We must reject the false promises of the free market and the hollow rhetoric of globalism, and focus instead on building a strong, resilient, and self-sufficient Haiti.
We Haitians must unite to defend the country against internal and external enemies, and to denounce the unjust and illegitimate practices that hinder our progress. Let us unite in this fight, come together as one people and take back our destiny. We must unite to combat these practices and put in place effective measures to prevent them in the future. It is time to take responsibility and work together for a better future. It is time for us to rise up against this enemy, to free ourselves from the chains of the Core Group and neoliberalism, to resist their relentless oppression and to claim our inalienable rights to freedom and national sovereignty. The fight will be long and difficult, but the victory will be all the sweeter for the Haitian nation that we will have recovered our sovereignty and our dignity. It is time for the country to chart its own course and adopt a new vision for the future. Because Haiti's future is bright, and with determination, courage, and perseverance, we can defeat the Core Group and build a better, fairer, and more prosperous Haiti for generations to come.
At war with a Confedertion !!!!
It is concluded that Hati has had a terror cell activation pushing Hatians to kill Hatians because the Islamic terror cell wants Hati for themselves. Hatians need to stand together and stand up. Food will be weaponized in the future . Yes, our beloved first black independent country is being dismantled. It's a Bueno Fazio situation.
