Quebec, January 22, 2011
I just read your statement calling on the government of Haiti to comply with the recommendations of the Report of the OAS on the first round of presidential elections. You know, if a number of us that the intervention of the Organization of American States (OAS) meets first and foremost to Washington's desire to change the announced results, placing Jude Celestin, candidate government party, second place and, as such, participating in the second round. In this approach, Clinton could count on you, the Secretary of the Organization of American States (OAS) and in France, very concerned about the presence of Mr. Celestin.
You know very well the OAS, who are members, as well as one who acts as Secretary General. I did not make you a purpose to convince you that he, Mr. Insulza, is a reliable ally on which Canada and the United States can count on. He gave evidence during the military coup in Honduras and more recently by a statement, quite out of his responsibilities as an agent against the enabling legislation passed by the National Assembly of Venezuela. It was not hard to convince him to create a special commission to verify the ballot, unacceptable in the interests of Washington, France and Canada. By pure coincidence, the three countries asked the OAS to compose the audit team were the same people who demanded the audit. Of the seven members selected, six were from those countries. It should not be clairvoyant to anticipate the main finding, namely the passage of the Celestine second the third rank and Martelly, from third to second. An operation much less expensive than a coup, like that of Honduras or the case of Venezuela, in 2002. A simple check of the vote is enough.
Compared ballot analyzed by experts from the OAS, I refer you to an independent study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), who wonders how the OAS and the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) could validate such a vote. First, the authors note that the participation rate does not exceed 22.9% of the total electorate. In addition, they show that the two candidates for the second round will go for only 6% and 4% of the votes of all the Haitian electorate. On this simple basis, talking about democracy and election valid, is already highly problematic. Now what about the exclusion of the most popular party, that of Mr. Aristide, the Lavalas? An exclusion is difficult to justify in a context where it is about democracy. What do raise serious questions about the democratic nature of such a ballot. And now what about the manipulation of votes, vote buying, corruption infiltrated all levels of players involved? Here is what the report's authors say:
"Based on the number of irregularities, it is impossible to determine who should enter the second round. If there is a second ballot will be based on assumptions and / or arbitrary exclusions. The report notes that the biggest problems in the electoral process took place before the day of suffrage: the prohibition of voting a dozen parties (including the most popular party), and "gargantuan task" of attempting to save hundreds of thousands of people displaced within the country, a task that was clearly a failure resounding. "I am convinced
did you learn anything by telling you these things. You know better than me and this is precisely where the low level. Indeed, Canadians are wrong in concealing these things and you empty meaningless words that should be used with great respect and responsibility. When you say you speak the international community in Canada, the United States, France and some other allies. You know that the international community includes 192 states and can not speak on his behalf without some sense of responsibility. It's the same for the word democracy whose meaning is one that puts people directly in connection with political power. Unfortunately, the use made of it is most often combined to cover political, corporate and oligarchic interests.
Canada is a large country with diverse ideas and orientations often contradictory. But there is a wealth of fundamental concepts that should not be recovered and used as a cover for anything. This is the case for democracy, the international community, international law, human rights. Even more important are those of truth, justice, freedom and solidarity. The Speech that you hold can only serve the domestic and disinformation, thus, democracy for which our soldiers are willing to go to war, killing and risking their own lives.
Mr. Cannon, the election of a government is not in Washington, but here in Canada. I know that Canadian politicians are soon courted, once the election is over, by the lobbyists who come from Washington and elsewhere. However, we hope that our elected officials have enough fabric and national pride to resist them and remain faithful to their Canadian voters and their values.
Sometimes I regret that time of the Honourable Lester B. Pearson, Nobel Peace, in the early 1960s. Then Canada was an international figure who inspired respect. Now, he gives the impression of being an appendage of its southern neighbor whose interests of solidarity are not the same as ours.

Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of External

Honorable Representative of the Canadian people,
You know very well the OAS, who are members, as well as one who acts as Secretary General.
