In part 2, Jafrikayiti recalls that after Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was overthrown, Canada Haiti Action Network asked officials on Parliament Hill in Ottawa as to why free and fair elections weren't being held in Haiti. The response was that Lavalas, the movement headed by Aristide, "occupied too much space," and foreign actors wanted to "level the playing field" to ensure that Lavalas wouldn't regain power. Furthermore, he delves into the myths surrounding former policeman Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier. Chérizier, whose victims have notably not been members of the predatory Haitian oligarchy, has subsequently been armed and granted impunity from arrest. Jafrikayiti calls for genuine solidarity with Haiti from people in the U.S., Canada, and France in order for there to be a paradigm shift in policy.

This week, we spoke to Jafrikayiti (aka Jean Saint-Vil), an activist and co-founder of the Canada-Haiti Action Network, about the reasons behind the current protests in Haiti against the US-backed government, and why the protesters strongly oppose the government's request for foreign military intervention.Jafrikayiti's website: https://jafrikayiti.com/Support The Maple by subscribing to our daily newsletter for as little as $7 per month.Music credit: "Fluidity," by tobylane.

The world has been watching Haiti ever since a 7.0 magnitude earthquake devastated the country on January 12. If you are wanting to donate money to the relief effort the Canada Haiti Action Network has listed NGOs they think are best able to deliver aid. You can find that link at rabble.ca Sarah Kramer is a volunteer with Sustainable Organic Integrated Livelihoods, an organization dedicated to grassroots change in HAITI through ecological sanitation projects, technology, and garbage transformation. Like many volunteers in the country, Kramer was thrown into a different kind of action when the earthquake hit and has been helping the relief effort since then.  Kramer  is trying to dispel the myth that Haitians have become desperate and violent in this time of crisis by sharing stories of hope.  One of her letters came to the rabble podcast network, and we thought we would share it with you.  Emeline Michel – Many Rivers to Cross from the Hope for Haiti benefit concert.

Comedians have had a field day with his decision, and so, it turns out, have activists.  The activist's field day happened this weekend when scheduled actions across Canada brought out over 25 000 people who wanted to tell Stephen Harper that they are not happy with his decision to shut down parliament, and stall democratic debate in Canada. In over 30 cities citizens gathered with their placards and chants.  The rabble podcast network collected audio from four cities in Canada. Here are the voices of Canada's people, telling the Prime Minister just what they think of his prorogation. It has been over a month since the Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. Although many were disappointed by the results that came out of COP 15, activists from around the world who were not allowed into the forums' larger meetings gathered at Klimaforum where they discussed the changes that needed to happen with an eye to bringing new ideas home. Zahra Moloo is an independent journalist from Kenya. She was at Klimaforum gathering the voices of African delegates. Over the next few episodes, Rabble radio will be featuring those interviews. Today, we're going to hear from the University of Nigeria's Dr. Julia Agwu Music: Emeline Michel Mon Reve. You can purchase this song at itunes.

That's right - we are back with a third installment of G7 Radio that continues to refuse to insult your intelligence by subjecting you to a thinly veiled self-aggrandizing info-merical for a crop of utterly mediocre new records put out only because labels are expected to keep farting out product regardless of whether it's exceptional or unique in any way. No, we have much more imaginative ways of insulting your intelligence. Basically this month we basically talk to Jord, who basically is active with the Canada-Haiti Action Network (and also basically plays drums in Propagandhi). Jordy basically goes over some of Haiti's basically tumultuous history, and basically leads up to the basically illegal interference by the West (basically the US, Canada and France) in Haiti's basically democratic processes. How many times can one man say "basically"? How many times can one man fart into a microphone? You tell us, we lost count. PLUS! Hear Derek rant like a lunatic! Oh wait, that's just him asking questions.
