10:21 pm
force. i'm told by diplomats from a number of countries that canada and the u. s. up probably receptive, but when you officially approach the canadians of the us, they say nothing on this matter. and in fact, i just tried to ask a question about whether us troops were going to haiti to the us ambassador linda thomas greenfield. and she said, absolutely nothing and ignore my question as she walked into the security council. but i think one thing will be very sobering for the security council, and that's what's happening as they are meeting right now in new york was happening on the street support a prince because in the haitian capital, they're all protest taking place right now. angry protests that in places have been dispersed by tear gas. now the protest as that are saying, they do not want international forces back in haiti. in fact, a one point the protest is, had a coffin that they were carrying, and it may clear that the coffin represented canadian us or french troops if they were going to be sent to haiti. james bay. thank you very much indeed. heritage
