About damned time!

Quote :

The world's leading industrialised nations have
pledged to write off the debts that Haiti owes them, following a
devastating earthquake last month.Canada's finance minister
announced at a summit in Iqaluit, northern Canada, that Group of Seven
countries planned to cancel Haiti's bilateral debts. Jim Flaherty said he would encourage international lenders to do the same. Some $1.2bn (£800m) of Haiti's debts to countries and international lending bodies has already been cancelled.

It may not sound like a big deal, but Haiti has been crippled by debt since it began 200 years ago, and this is one of the reasons it is still so poor today. Now if the IMF agrees to write off Haiti's debt, too...

I'd like to smile at this but all I can think is "great, it took 200000 deaths to get a little sympathy for them."

Good, but hopefully this won't cause inflation issues and exacerbate the problem.
