Answer:
As noted in Fatton's book on Haiti published in 2002, it is not enough to promote a regime change to bring democracy. Canada must support transformation of governments through development of stakeholders in real democracy not yet another group wishing to utlize governance for promotion of their own selfish interests. This will require dedication of resources to those areas outside American interests, disrupted by big business and in need of althernates to violence. Generousity will require increased taxes but money raised such not go to MP junkets or Canadian bureaucrats but rather to ensure democracy has a chance and people do have choices beside the "gun".
