rainyday-aHaiti’s Rainy-Day Presidential Elections Without Clinton Thunder

By Dady Chery, November 21 2016

Haiti held presidential and legislative elections again on Sunday, November 20, and this alone was a minor victory. To reach this point, Haitians had to boycott three fraudulent elections and replace Michel Martelly’s dictatorial rule in February 2016 with an interim administration. This transition government has been sufficiently honest to verify the election results of October 2015.

By David Orchard, November 21 2016

Today a new US president has said he wants to renegotiate or cancel NAFTA. In response, Canadians are being treated to a great wailing and gnashing of teeth by shortsighted leaders, and an alarmist media, about the possibility of “losing NAFTA.” Thoughtful leadership would recognize an opportunity for Canada to stand on its own two feet, step out of the straitjacket of foreign control and build the only economy that offers security and independence — one that is domestically controlled.
