I am a researcher for a public sector trade union here in Ottawa Canada. I am active in the anti-war movement here, primarily now focused on Haiti solidarity work. The Government of Canada and a number of government-funded NGOs contributed mightily to the propaganda job selling the coup d'etat in February 2004, and are now working on legitimizing the whole thing. Ottawa Haiti Solidarity and the Canada Haiti Action Network (CHAN) are working to upend this outrageous policy and demand genuine support for the people of Haiti and the rest of Latin America.
