Buenaventura Durruti - Contributor, The Excalibur | Wednesday, 01 June 2005 On May 18, people from cities across Canada took part in the first-ever International Day of Solidarity with Haiti with a series of coordinated demonstrations, petitions and workshops meant to draw attention to and challenge Canada's role in the destabilization of Haiti and its support for an illegal interim government.
