NEWS AND ANALYSIS Cannon lays out compassionate aid agenda By P.A.Sévigny The Suburban While Stephen Harper?s government was quick off the mark in response to the massive earthquake that leveled Port Au Prince, Haiti?s capital city, it wasn?t enough to allay the fears of a growing number of local citizens who have friends and relatives in Haiti. ?My brother is still down there (Port au Prince) and we have no news of him since the earthquake,? said Jean Annaelle Joseph. ?My mother is sick from worrying about him.? Last Thursday, Canada?s foreign affairs minister, Lawrence Cannon, met various representatives of the city?s Haitian community in La Perle Retrouvée, a local community centre located in a de-consecrated church near the Metropolitan. During a brief noontime press conference, Cannon, along with local federal MP Denis Coderre, provincial MNA Emmanuel Dubourg, Montreal Mayor Gérald Tremblay and Cardinal Jean-Claude Turcotte, said the government was doing everything it could to pro ...

There is much to be done in the short term to relieve suffering, she says, but Haiti?s future also needs to be addressed in the coming weeks. ?We decided to help by raising some funds with the Red Cross. First, they need water, food and medicine,? said Mibel, who has been with the JCCH since 2002. ?Later, we ...
