On February 29, 2004 the US, France and Canada overthrew
Haiti’s elected government.
As my first two articles in this series outlined, Ottawa
helped plan the coup and was heavily implicated in the human rights disaster
that followed.
But the most shocking aspect of the intervention was the
role played by purportedly progressive non-governmental organizations. A slew
of NGOs received tens of millions of dollars from the Canadian International
Development Agency (CIDA) to advance Ottawa’s anti-democratic policy in Haiti.
