Which party was in power when Canada was involved in the coup against Jean-Bertrand Aristide?

[BolivarianHero]

And which two parties opposed it?

I'll give you a hint: Conservative is not the answer to either question.

[CHIMO]

1. Martin

So you can go to the front of the class. Another Harper topic.

Where were you when we were part of the cabal? Don't recall your comments.

You can find mine on this site.

So go enjoy your righteous with the Harper cabal!

2. The Liberals under the pitiful leadership of Paul Martin who didn't last long....

and the CRAP are carrying out what was planned by the U.S. and Canada at the time so their hands are now just as dirty. As for the NDP, well, they will never be in power but they do, on occasion back the CRAP so I guess their principles are just as fleeting.

Randall Robinson: Aristide Says ‘Tell the World It Is a Coup’

RANDALL ROBINSON: The president called me on a cell phone that was slipped to him by someone–he has no land line out to the world and no number at which he can be reached. He is being held in a room with his wife and his sister’s husband, who happened to be at the house at the time that the abduction occurred. The soldiers came in to the house and ordered them to use no phones and to come immediately. They were taken at gunpoint to the airport and put on a plane. His own security detachment was taken as well and put in a separate compartment of the plane. The president was kept with his wife with the soldiers with the shades of the plane down and when he asked where he was being taken, the soldiers told him they were under orders not to tell him that. He was flown first to Antigua, which he recognized, but then he was told to put the shades down again. They were on the ground there for two hours before they took off again and landed six hours later at another location again told to keep the shades down. At no time before they left the house and on the plane were they allowed to use a phone. Only when they landed the last time were they told that they were in the Central African Republic. Then taken to a room with a balcony. They do not know what the room is a part of, maybe a hotel, maybe some other kind of building, but it has a balcony and outside they can see that they are surrounded by soldiers. So that they have no freedom. The president asked me to tell the world that it is a coup, that they have been kidnapped. That they have been abducted. I have put in calls to members of congress asking that they demand that the president be given an opportunity to speak, that he be given a press conference opportunity and that people be given an opportunity to reach him by phone so that they can hear directly from him how he is being treated. But the essential point is clear. He did not resign. He was taken by force from his residence in the middle of the night, forced on to a plane, and taken away without being told where he was going. He was kidnapped. There’s no question about it.

His American body guards walked away and left him open to the invaders.
Maxine Waters got very involved and probably saved his life.

4. I did follow it at the time, not as closely as I should have....

it only became clear to me the ramifications of the forced removal of Aristide and Canada's despicable role in it after it had taken place. I appreciate the links and will check them out, thanks!

5. Martin's govt.

Amazing the amount of harm he did with such a short time in power.
