Haiti - Politic : Michaëlle Jean believes that rich countries must assume their responsibilities towards Haiti 05/01/2023 09:29:37 Ms. Jean believes that countries like Canada must take responsibility for introducing debilitating economic policies in Haiti and repatriating criminals who wreaked havoc in Port-au-Prince. Michaëlle Jean says that means building Haitian-led institutions, ending exploitative economic policies, and getting more countries to sanction corrupt leaders who support gangs. She agrees with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's remarks that a solution requires political consensus, which she says means agreement between civil society groups and unelected Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
