Why single her out? What about the other Haitians living in Canada? Don't they deserve prayers too?

I cannot imagine the profound sorrow that our GG is suffering right now. Though Canada has moved swiftly to offer aid and support for Haitians citizens, it must be absolutely overwhelming to watch news reports of the utter destruction of her homeland. I know that she has family and friends still living in the country and not being able to be with them during this time must be heartbreaking. I pray for her, the people, and the country of Haiti.

I guess you have trouble reading to the end of a post.
Yes, the earthquake, the deaths and the destruction it caused is a terrible thing.
But, has M.J. or any Canadian offical ever spoken out about the corrupt aristocracy left behind by "papa Doc" Duvalier that still owns and controls everything in the country leaving nothing but the dredges for the rest of the citzenry? Nor has she or any other Canadian offical honestly questioned why Canada has been pouring tens of billions of taxpayer dollars into this corrupted nation and its regime for years without demanding an accounting of how the aid is being distributed and why aid is needed in the first place?
I think not.
Right on, VI. If I thought it would do any good, I'd pray, too. So I will just hope the issue is remedied in good time and the survivors can get on with life. Perhaps a rebuild will be a good thing for the country.

oooops, big blunder. I called you "VI" Mowich. Sorry. *sheeepish look*
I will look into that, crushem. At the moment, I am simply thinking of fellow human beings who through no fault of their own are suffering unbearable pain and sorrow.

It is not the time to place blame for anything now! What is important is that they get help ASAP.

Thankfully no one was blaming either. But can we trust that the money and medical aid being sent there will actually reach those who need it, or will it be siphoned off the way so much of the previous "aid" has been? Can we trust that the money our government sends to the - laughfully named - "government" of Haiti will ever reach those most in need or simply fatten the accounts of the handful of crooks that actually control the country? Can we trust the money won't be used to buy more guns to further intimidate the population?
Can we trust that, as soon as the initial outreach transits from desparate need to contained and managable, the thugs who actually control the nation will not, again, send their goons into the devastated areas and start looting and terrorizing all over again?
Given the history of aid to Haiti, it seems a small thing to expecct full and complete accountability for the cash and resources flowing into that country, especially during this time of emergency. Is that too much too ask?
Haiti has been the most impoverished country in the Caribbean for a number of years, where was all the care and concern for then during that time?
Prayers mean very little when the body is in need of things.
