PrintCanada should throw open doors to Haitians
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's initial response to the Haiti earthquake has been impressive. It has been swift and to the point and has been recognized as such by a multiplicity of politicians, news outlets and pundits. Last week's media roundup in The Globe and Mail indicated that Mr. Harper has earned high praise. The Globe's impressive roster of positive coverage pointed out that La Presse columnist Vincent Marissal said Mr. Harper demonstrated "a great determination to rush to the aid of the Haiti people." La Presse's Alain Dubuc said "up until this point [...] the Harper government has reacted vigorously and swiftly." And Chantal Hébert in her column last Monday in Le Devoir said, "Over the course of the past week, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has directed his propensity for wanting to control everything toward the Canadian response to the humanitarian crisis in Haiti. The results have been impressive." In her Toronto Star column last week, Ms. Hébert said, "Could the disaster that has befallen Haiti become a game-changer in Stephen Harper's foreign policy? The timing and the extent of the devastation both suggest that it might."
