THE CANADIAN CORPORATE/STATE NEXUS IN HAITI BY ANTHONY FENTON - Haiti-Progres, May 12, 2005 Haiti's de facto government will soon announce the appointment of Robert Tippenhauer as its new ambassador to Canada... Should the Canadian government accept Tippenhauer's credentials, it will mark Canada's clearest official alignment with Haiti's right-wing elites. Prior to the...ouster of democratically elected President Jean Bertrand Aristide, Tippenhauer was Jamaica's honorary consul in Haiti. His ideological leanings were apparent...when he "resigned in protest against the decision by the Jamaican government to host former President Jean Bertrand Aristide, which he reportedly described as a 'slap in the face' to the Haitian people."
