Add this to the “you can’t make this stuff up” file: Canada’s foreign minister recently met his Haitian counterpart, who is part of a de facto administration illegally rewriting the constitution, to discuss Venezuela’s supposed democracy deficiency. Apparently, Ottawa wants a Haitian regime extending its term and criminalizing protest to maintain its support for Juan Guaidó as “constitutional” president of Venezuela.
Ottawa is also supporting an election process that most political actors in Haiti reject. Moïse is ruling by decree and pushing to extend his term by a year to February 7, 2022, against the wishes of most Haitians and constitutional experts. In the summer Haiti’s entire nine person electoral council resigned in response to Moïse’s pressure and few believe a fair election is possible under his direction.
Canada is backing the elections and an illegal constitutional rewrite.

Very stinky. Coulda' gone in climate change thread.
Black history month, anyone?
More than two centuries ago Africans in Saint-Domingue rose up against the most barbaric of all the slave economies to become a beacon for Black liberation. Over 13 years they freed themselves, defeating multiple colonial powers including a British force led by Toronto icon John Graves Simcoe. The Haitian Revolution represents what may be the greatest example of liberation in the history of humanity, abolishing slavery three decades before Canada and six decades before the US.
In February 2016, after massive local protests, Colombia’s Constitutional Court put the final nail in the coffin of a huge gold mining project by Canadian company Eco Oro: the court decided that no extractive activities could take place in the high-mountain ecosystems known as páramos, including the Santurban páramo where Eco Oro had its project. Less than a month later, the company told the government that it would file an investment arbitration lawsuit. Even worse, the US$764 million claim by Eco Oro seems to have triggered a whole string of investor attacks.

The Trudeau government continues to be committed to dictatorship in Haiti. They continue to provide vital policing and other assistance to Jovenel Moïse’s regime as its violence becomes ever more difficult to deny.

One of the most despicable foreign policy decisions made by the government of Canada must have been co-opting a small number of Latin American countries to turn against their regional neighbour Venezuela. The plotters called themselves the Lima Group after a meeting that took place in Lima, Peru. That was much more than a casual coming together of like-minded rightwing governments. That was an intentional ganging up of eleven Latin American governments with a Canadian boss to commit an act of betrayal against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Betrayal to a shared cultural and historical background. Canada took on the leadership role in this deceiving scheme. To be specific, this happened during the government of Justin Trudeau with Chrystia Freeland as Minister of Global Affairs.
I haven't popped into your blog in a while. I see you have posted a book about how North Korea is not so bad after all. Of course the bad guy is America, and there can only be 2 sides, so if America is the baddie, then the DPRK must be... LMAO. Dude, you are hilarious.

It's funny, you despise America, yet you can't seem to look at any other country without seeing them through an America lens.
My lense is decidedly class based. This country needs to grow a spine.
I recently returned home from Red Lake Treaty Camp at Thief River Falls in Minnesota, where I watched Enbridge complete its largest river crossing in the construction of the Line 3 pipeline. Despite being a Canadian-led project, Line 3 has received little media coverage on this side of the border. The project is nearing its finish: construction continues around the clock while the Minnesota Supreme Court dodges legal appeals and pressure mounts on Gov. Tim Walz and President Joe Biden to cancel the project.......
