Canadian ships arrive in Haiti.

[HeresyLives]

Two Canadian naval ships have arrived off the coast of Haiti and 200 sailors are expected to deploy ashore within the hour.

The destroyer HMCS Athabaskan and navy frigate HMCS Halifax arrived on Tuesday morning after five days at sea, said Naval Task Force Commander Capt. Art McDonald.

HMCS Halifax was launching its efforts just offshore from Jacmel, a town about 25 kilometres southwest of Port-au-Prince where Canada's DART team has based its efforts. It is also the hometown of Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean.

HMCS Athabaskan was docked near Leogane, west of the capital.

Just so you know other towns haven't been forgotten.

7. Leogane and Jacmel -- an attempt to cut off the western penninsula?

Probably seizing the length of highway 204 as we write.

4. It needs to be pointed out that cruise ships that dock on the

north side of the island routinely bring in shipments of humanitarian aid. In addition, the small but growing tourist industry is one of the brighter spots in a bleak economy.

While it seems incongruous to have well heeled travelers docking for cocktails and shopping a few miles from one of the biggest human catastrophes the world have ever seen, their trade is essential at this point.
