Biography of Roger Annis: Roger Annis is a coordinator of the Canada Haiti
Action Network (CHAN) and its Vancouver affiliate, Haiti Solidarity BC. In
June 2011, he led a ten-day fact-finding and solidarity delegation to Haiti
on behalf of CHAN. The delegation’s report can be accessed in English or
French on this page of the CHAN website:
http://canadahaitiaction.ca/human_rights. The Canada Haiti Action Network is
an advocacy group for sovereignty and social justice for Haiti. Mr. Annis is
the editor of its website: http://canadahaitiaction.ca/. He is a frequent
writer on Haiti. His articles present a critical analysis of Canada’s
presence in Haiti. Canada, he and CHAN argue, should break from the
neo-colonial policies it has been practicing in Haiti with its U.S. and
European allies. Organized by the Halifax Peace Coalition (Web)

"A better world is possible"

"Our only hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary
spirit and go out into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility
to poverty, racism, and militarism." - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 1967

"Without a doubt, military spending represents the single most significant
perversion of worldwide priorities known today." Former President of Costa
Rica, Oscar Arias, 1999
