Officials in Ottawa say the U.S. has lobbied hard for Canada to lead a security mission to Haiti, but Gen. Eyre says ‘there’s only so much to go around’
Canada’s top general said he was concerned that his country’s armed forces, which are already stretched thin by support for Ukraine and NATO, do not have the capacity to lead a possible security mission to Haiti.
Canada over the past year has spent more than C$1 billion in military assistance to Ukraine. Now Canada is preparing to nearly double its presence in Latvia, which shares a border with Russia and Belarus, announcing new procurement for the mission on Thursday. Haitian gangs have expanded their territory since the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moise. The resulting violence has left much of the country off-limits to the government and led to routine gun battles with police.
