A little-known yet brutal occupation exists quite close to North America, the situation in Haiti. Two websites that focus on the ongoing situation there and try to shed light on the atrocities happening include "Canada out of Haiti" and Zmag's Haiti watch.

Canada has been helping a UN force establish control and security in this Caribbean country. In 2004 former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide was forced into exile after an opposition-led uprising spead rapidly whilst America and other leading nations urged Aristide to step down. However under the supervision of the UN and Canada, leading political and media activists have been jailed without trial, and even worse, Canadian-trained police have been alleged to have committed massacres in slum areas in Port-au-Prince and fire on unarmed protestors in demonstrations against the government.
This piece in the McGill daily explains a lot about the events and immediat history of the Haiti situation.

2005 seems to be the year of the disasters. The Tsunami, Katrina, now the Pakistan earthquake with tens of thousands dead. In addition there was Hurricanes Rita, Stan and the ensuing flooding which killed over a thousand in Central America.
