Well the Halifax newspaper is the ONLY news source reporting all of
the "good work" Canada is doing. Actually the rest of the world just
let's Canada come down so Canada doesn't feel left out. Sort of like
when you have a baby brother, and he wants to play with the big boys.
Canada.... everyone's little baby brother.

Heck, even BBC has no idea that Canada is even participating in the
Haitian relief effort. Actually they are there, just not doing
anything worthwhile, but it does give the Halifax newspaper something to
print besides the high crime rate. Donnie, do you think it is
Halifax's severe alcohol abuse problems or just anti-social behavior of
Canadians that is the root of your crime wave?

Here is a Canadian new source that hits the nail on the head, it seems
that even Canadians realize that your piddling effort sucks.

"Over the course of the past decade, Canada's leading officials and most
prestigious commentators have learned how to approach Haiti in the
spirit of cynical power politics and racist condescension (or worse)
while maintaining a posture of national self-flattery. With attention
again riveted on Haiti following the horrific tragedy inflicted by
Tuesday's earthquake, this ugly mixture is once again on display. The
need for emergency aid is, without question, urgent [see below for
links]. But established patterns of “help” for Haiti need to be overcome
if the destructive impact of this catastrophe is to be somehow limited.

Scattered self-congratulations can already be heard in Canada's
mainstream press (a willing partner, for the most part, in recent
Canadian government crimes against Haiti). On Thursday, papers across
the country ran editorials on Canadian policy and the relief effort.
Under the title “Helping Haiti,” the Calgary Herald editorialized that
“Canada's response is not only appropriate, but one to be proud of. …
Once again, Canada's humanitarianism and compassion shines brightly.”
The Montreal Gazette concurred: “Canadians have, to their credit, been
involved in helping Haiti help itself for years.” For its part, the
Globe and Mail yet again cast Haiti as the “basket case of the Western
hemisphere,” the editorial headline promising that “Today's rescue is
just the beginning.”
