Canadian military in Haiti

"For Haitians, the continuous presence of a foreign army three years after the earthquake hit equates to occupation." "Nonetheless, it is a tiny Caribbean island with lush gold deposits. And Canadian extractive companies, like Montreal-based St. Genevieve Resources, are already major players in Haiti. Latent natural resources means the quicker Haiti is pacified, the quicker everyone can do more business. And that fact cannot be ignored." "On top of that, the fact that the US sits so close to Haiti's shores begs the question of an American interest." (thanks Amir)
