SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- Alarmed tourists jammed Caribbean airports for flights out of Hurricane Dean's path Saturday as the fierce storm that has claimed six lives began sweeping past the Dominican Republic and Haiti and threatened to engulf Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. In Jamaica and the Cayman Islands -- which stand directly in the path of the Category-4 storm -- fear gripped many islanders and tourists alike. Bracing for a direct hit on Sunday, Jamaica began moving people into more than 1,000 shelters nationwide. I can't take it," she said. "The storm is bad enough but it's what happens afterwards -- there's no light, no water.
The Harper government claims that it is keen to develop a strong policy towards Latin America. Yet it is a flawed approach, supporting US policy at a time when it is at its lowest point in decades, while ignoring both a clear leftward swing of elected Latin American governments in the last five years and the significant importance of Cuba in the region. This paper examines the Harper government's approach to Cuba. Following some general comments on the evolution of Canadian policy towards revolutionary Cuba, it examines some of the errors in the Harper approach, suggests an explanation for the approach employed, and makes suggestions about policies that Ottawa should consider to improve relations. In sports terms, Cuba "punches above its weight"-a fact which is known widely in Latin Ame...

GEORGE TOWN, Cayman Islands -- Gustav became a hurricane again on Friday as it plowed toward Cayman Islands resorts, the start of a buildup that could take it to the U.S. Gulf Coast as a fearsome Category-3 storm three years after hurricane Katrina. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Gustav could grow to a Category 3 storm, with winds above 180 km/h, by the time it hits the U.S. Gulf coast next week. Gustav could strike anywhere from the Florida Panhandle to Texas, but forecasters said there is a better-than-even chance that New Orleans will get slammed by at least tropical-storm-force winds. Along the U.S. Gulf Coast, most commemorations of the Katrina anniversary were cancelled because of Gustav, but in New Orleans a horse-drawn carriage took the bodies of Katrina's last...

The book, by Mary Peachin, has a section on Mexico's Caribbean coastline, including Quintana Roo, Cozumel, Cancun, Rivera Maya and Cenotes of the Yucatan, as well as chapters on more than two dozen islands, including Puerto Rico, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, the Cayman Islands, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Martinique, Montserrat, St. Lucia, Grenada, Barbados, Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, St. Martin, the Bahamas and Bermuda. The book also includes a section on Central and South American destinations with Caribbean coastlines -- Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Venezuela's Los Roques Archipelago.

Even as tourists searched for flights off the islands, officials urged calm. Theresa Foster, one of the owners of the Grand Caymanian Resort, said [Gustav] didn't look as threatening as hurricane Ivan, which destroyed 70 per cent of Grand Cayman's buildings four years ago. Prices are going to go up pretty soon. You're going to see increases by 5, 10, 15 cents a gallon," said Tom Kloza, publisher of the Oil Price Information Service in Wall, N.J. "If we have a Katrina-type event, you're talking about gas prices going up another 30 per cent. In Gustav's wake, Haitians struggled to find affordable food. Jean Ramando, an 18-year-old banana grower, said winds tore down a dozen of his family's banana trees, so he was doubling his price.

I got back in the rental car and drove through small villages. Everywhere, people were pulling out the sheets of plywood kept stored for the task of protecting their homes and businesses. The palm trees were swaying in the wind. At Big Daddy's rum store, the young clerk dismissed the threat. I've been here three years," she said, "and they're always warning us. Nothing ever happens.'' Hurricane Ivan happened four years ago, I thought, and it devastated this paradise. "How can I know you're telling me the truth,'' she demanded. "Why should I believe you?'' Hands on hips, she let her derision fly.
