Canada–Haiti relations are relations between Canada and Haiti. During the unsettled period from 1957 to 1990, Canada received many Haitian refugees, who now form a significant minority in Quebec. Canada participated in various international interventions in Haiti between 1994 and 2004, and continues to provide substantial aid to Haiti.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canada-Haiti Relations )〕 ==Historical background==
Haiti is in the west of the island of Hispaniola. In 1797 Toussaint Louverture led a successful revolt against the French and made Haiti the first independent Caribbean nation, although government was unsettled until 1915, when the United States occupied the island. The United States left the island in 1934, returning it to a form of democracy. Canada is a member of the Francophonie, or community of French-speaking countries, as is Haiti. Canada plays an active role in peacekeeping (or peacemaking) around the world.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=PEACEKEEPING: CONCEPTS, EVOLUTION, AND CANADA'S ROLE )〕 Quebec is an independent member of La Francophonie, with Haiti being the largest recipient of aid assistance from the province. Further, a large majority of the NGOs working in Haiti are Quebec organizations. Canada and Haiti only officially established diplomatic relations in 1954 when Edward Ritchie Bellemare was appointed Chargé d'Affaires of the Canadian Embassy in Haiti.〔 From 1957 to 1986, the Duvalier family reigned as dictators. They created the private army and terrorist death squads known as Tonton Macoutes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=François Duvalier ) 〕 Many Haitians fled to exile in the United States and Canada, especially French-speaking Quebec.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Haitian Heart of Love )〕 In the 1991 Canadian census, nearly 44,000 people described themselves as being of Haitian origin. By 2006, Canada had over 100,000 residents of Haitian origin.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ethnic origins, 2006 counts, for Canada, provinces and territories - 20% sample data )〕
