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...

We're a great place if you want to stay small. But if you want to grow, if you want to expand, if you're an international company and you have a branch office in Manitoba, we're the last place where you're going to want to (grow).
What they've won: Essentially, veto power on the east side. In part to avoid a protracted legal battle, the Doer government's policy on the east side mirrors Poplar Rivers': No power line but a UNESCO site instead. That's despite growing calls from nearly every one of the other 15 bands on the east side who say they'd like to talk about a power line and the economic spin-offs one might provide to their poor reserves.
