A needed stand

Full credit to the Greens for taking a stand on Canada's involvement in Haiti:

The Haiti policy review should consider whether the United States, Canada, and France were openly and strategically involved in supporting the process that led to the coup and exile of a democratically elected president.

The ongoing attempts to cover over the flagrant violation of the Haitian Constitution with new elections, now delayed for a fifth time, have been plagued with brutal violence and abuse of fundamental democratic principles.

The NDP hasn't yet made Haiti a campaign issue despite the party's strong stances in the past, with the result that no parties were yet questioning the continued subversion of Haitian democracy. Hopefully the Greens' focus on Haiti will ensure that the issue is discussed by the parties as well as by protesters.
