A nice story about Jensen Ackles on Reddit. Text:
Poster: I “worked” with him/ for him for several years before I realized he was a celebrity/ on a major tv show.
I swear he is the most humble, genuine, and respectful man I’ve ever worked with. Probably why I never would have guessed he was famous.
Question: What did you do for him?
Poster: Full disclosure- this was from 2011 to 2012 (ish) so I dont remember the smaller details of our interactions, but anyway…
I worked at a high end “executive car service”. Basically wealthy business people, agents, sports players, etc. would book us for an SUV or town car to take them to meetings, the airport, whatever. We didn’t have limos or party busses or anything, it was strictly for professionals in a professional setting.
Anyway, I had been talking with Jensen usually twice a week for a good 6+ months. I’d book him trips to the airport in Canada and Malibu? I think that’s where the CA side was. All I really knew was he “traveled a lot for work” and his wife and new baby were at home.
I worked with major assholes, which was to be expected. Attorneys assistants especially. They would get fired if they didn’t use the right colored post-it. That kinda crap. So they understandably were always stressed the hell out, which would get taken out on me. Whatever. That’s all part of the game.
But anytime I answered the phone and it was Jensen, I knew at least for those few minutes my job would actually be enjoyable. He’d always ask about ME. How my day was, what the weather in SoCal was like since he’d be on his way there. Small talk, but always SO damn nice. He’d occasionally mention how he’d miss his family during the longer trips or tell me how it’d be a short stay that particular week so he’d be able to get back home to his baby. SO sweet.
One day months later the owner of “my” company called me to ask about the schedule. Mentioned Jensen was to be picked up the following day and she chuckled and asked, “you know who that is, right?” Uhhh, no? Then she told me he was on tv and was traveling to film every week. Based on how humble, soft spoken, and incredibly nice he was, I figured he was just starting out in the business or was kinda an unknown. That’s when my boss told me he was shooting this huge show, he was really famous, etc etc.
I never woulda guessed it in a million years. With celebrities, we always dealt with their agents. Jensen would always pick up the phone and call me himself. He just seemed like a completely normal, humble guy who didn’t let his fame change who he was.
I worked there for another several months and then moved onto a different company, but damn did I miss “working” with him. I always knew there’d be no drama when he called.
To this day I still haven’t seen him in anything (or even a single episode of Supernatural) but I’ll always hold a soft spot for him just based on the way he treated me. I was relentlessly harassed but he was always so, so kind.

₊˚ෆ stella’s relationship with daisy !
━━━ ❛ if you go I’m goin’ too, cause it was always you
Tumblr media
ᡣ𐭩 BASICS !
when did they meet Stella(7) and Daisy(8) met at a figure skating competition in Toronto, Canada , they didn't talk to each other , both of them being too shy. They first talked when they ran into each other at Luke's hockey game that was held at the same rink on the same day. Additionally, David – Daisy’s twin brother – played against Luke’s team often, which often led to the Ahns and the Hughes’ often running into one another.
their first impressions of each other:
to say daisy was impressed (and a little intimidated) by stella’s skills was an understatement. though daisy was never a shy child, watching stella perform before definitely made her a little nervous to perform. but by the time they went to dinner with the hughes, daisy made it a note to speak to her – complimenting stella on her amazing performance.
Stella was in awe as she watched daisy skate, it was obvious that she was very talented and loved the sport. Stella really wanted to become friends with her since she struggled making friends with the other girls. They finally got the chance to speak to each other when their families went out to dinner – and the girls immediately clicked!
favorite memory they have of each other
Stella’s favorite memory of her and daisy, is when the young girls had to go out of state for a figure skating competition with their moms and they decided to let the two girls share their own hotel room (they were next door and there was a connecting door to the rooms – but still the idea of them having their own room was exciting to them) they stayed up way to late eating sweets, listening to music that turned into a playful dance battle, and doing the silly quizzes in the magazines. They ended up falling asleep in the same bed as they watched mamma mia.
Daisy’s favourite memory between her and Stella has got to be the first time Daisy stayed with Stella and her family in Michigan for the summer. The pair of them naturally had to share a room — being the only two girls — spending the entire summer together. Though Daisy was incredibly homesick — due to it being her first time away from her entire family for a long period of time — being around Stella made it easier, as the pair of them did activities like swimming together and curling up on the sofa watching their favourite movies. Daisy had brought her little spa/makeup kit, and the duo spent an entire afternoon giving each other (and Stella’s brothers) makeovers.
ᡣ𐭩 DETAILS !
songs that represent them
birds of a feather – billie eilish
byob (bring your own best friend) – billlie
ribs – lorde
miracle – txt
chiquitita – abba
invisible string – taylor swift
friends – bts
their contact names for each other
daisy’s (for Stella): pretty dahee 🌷
stella’s (for daisy): my favorite hughes 🌸
contact photos
Tumblr media
their tropes sunshine!stella x sunshine protector!daisy, sun x moon, twin flames, sisters from another mister, found family, first friend, bad bitch with a baddie friend
nicknames
stella’s (from daisy): stells, estella, byeol (star in korean), superstar, princess, “the best hughes child”
daisy’s (from stella): babygirl, wife, pretty, petals, dahee (dramatically drags out the e), honey, “the prettiest ahn”
their love languages
stella’s: physical touch, words of affirmation, quality time.
daisy’s: acts of service, gift giving, physical touch.
favorite things to do together baking, karaoke, dancing, shopping, buying and opening kpop albums together, watching kdramas, skating together, getting mani-pedi’s together, coloring
ᡣ𐭩 THEIR THINGS !
long study dates 
sitting on the kitchen floor and sharing secrets at 3am
trying each others foods + drinks when they order different things
impromptu day trips 
eating ice cream in daisy’s car
filming tik tok dances/trends 
long conversations about the future
staying up late to play video games 
matching pjs 
sharing their netflix passwords and ect. 
making each other playlists 
holding hands even when they are upset with each other 
getting drunk and watching kdramas in daisy’s apartment 
ᡣ𐭩 FUN FACTS !
Stella and Daisy love going to concerts together! 
They have been to many kpop concerts; ateez, txt, enhypen, twice and aespa
They went to coachella 2023 and 2024 
stella was one of the first people to help daisy with her english; daisy teaching her korean in return
whenever their families go on trips together, stella and daisy always insist on sitting/rooming together.
once on a plane ride, they were seated in front of each other instead of beside, so they passed notes between the cracks of the seats.
daisy often features stella on her videos on youtube and vice versa, the pair of them often vlogging their little dates together 
on stella’s 18th birthday, daisy gifted stella an expensive bracelet with a heartfelt card – getting herself one of her own so they’d match. it’s one of the only pieces of jewelry daisy wears every day. 
fights between the pair are few and far between, though if they end up having a more serious argument, it doesn’t take long for them to make amends.
given how long they’ve known each other, daisy and stella know each other like the backs of their hands. they often tell each other things they don’t even tell their siblings – who of which they’re both close to. 
daisy was one of the first people to know about stella and rutger’s relationship, and in turn, daisy told stella about luke and ethan as soon as it happened.
with this, daisy was also one of the first to know about her impromptu departure to seoul, following stella and luke’s argument.
stella is the one who got daisy to be a little more extroverted in university.
daisy used to have a crush on stella’s brother jack, while stella still has a crush on daisies older brother jihoon 
they often tease each other about this

When the Queen is your boss by Susan Delacourt (September 9th 2022)
OTTAWA—In her 60 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II has presided over 20 Parliaments in Canada, featuring 11 prime ministers and 11 governors general.
What is it like to work for the Queen? An array of former prime ministers and governors general offer glimpses of working life under Her Majesty’s rule.
1. Michaëlle Jean
No one tells you when you are named governor general that you might end up doing dishes with the Queen. But this is exactly what happened in early September 2005, as Michaëlle Jean was preparing to take up her new role as the Queen’s representative in Canada.
About three weeks before her formal installation, Jean flew across the Atlantic to spend some time with the Queen at her summer residence, Balmoral Castle. Rather unusually, in terms of protocol and precedence, Jean had asked to make it a family visit; to bring along her husband, filmmaker Jean-Daniel Lafond, and their daughter, Marie-Eden, then 6 years old. There was much fuss and back-and-forth among the protocol people about this business of bringing the whole family. Usually appointees arrive for these visits with only a spouse, if anyone at all.
“We had to negotiate that; it was an ‘adjustment,’” Jean said. In addition, Jean and the family received extensive, detailed instructions on all the protocol minutiae for dealing with that first meeting. “It was pretty heavy.”
So it was a pleasant surprise for Jean to pull up at Balmoral, family in tow, and find the Queen and Prince Philip standing at the front door like any weekend hosts, casually walking out and extending their hands. Philip pulled Marie aside and asked if she wanted a Coca-Cola. Marie said she wasn’t allowed to have this at home. “It’ll just be between you and me,” Philip replied.
Jean realized, then and there, that she could start breathing.
The Queen led the family to their quarters, which happened to be Queen Victoria’s old suite, and showed them how to use the tub, including the fussy new faucets installed after a recent renovation. “She wanted to greet us in her home, herself,” Jean said.
The entire stay, in fact, turned out to be a remarkable glimpse into the warm family life of the royals.
The Queen told Jean that they would be dining at a favourite cottage on the property, about a half-hour’s drive from the castle. And the driver turned out to be none other than the Queen herself, behind the wheel of a new, fully outfitted Range Rover, which clearly was a prized possession. Tearing along the road, with Lafond in front, Jean and Marie in the back seat, the Queen told of how she had learned to take apart car engines in her service as a volunteer mechanic during World War II.
“She drives very fast,” Jean said. “(Yet) she handles the car very well … We got a great sense of her character and her independence.”
Pulling up to the cottage, Jean noticed a man by the barbecue, wearing hunting plaid, who had obviously been given the task of cooking the dinner. While the Queen and the rest of Jean’s family went inside the cottage, Jean wandered over and discovered another surprise — Prince Philip doing barbecue duty. They chatted and Philip gave Jean a bit of advice: compliment the Queen on her salad dressing. Apparently it’s a recipe that Her Majesty invented, and she is quite proud of it.
Walking inside, Jean discovered a hive of kitchen activity. “And who do I see cooking? The Earl of Wessex (Edward, the Queen’s youngest son), cooking the appetizers.”
No staff members were in sight — this was a dinner entirely created by the royals, for their Canadian visitors. It was one family, dining with another. “It was great conversation, fun … no protocol,” Jean said.
It also happened to be Jean’s 48th birthday — a fact she hadn’t disclosed. But a cake was magically produced at the end of dinner, with “21 Forever” written in icing.
And at the end of the dinner, both families gathered up the plates, went into the kitchen and did the dishes.
“It was probably the best birthday of my life,” Jean said.
2. Adrienne Clarkson
The Queen’s last big anniversary was in 2002, when she marked half a century on the throne. In honour of this milestone, all the Commonwealth governors general were invited to spend some time with the Queen at Windsor Castle that April. Canada’s governor general at the time was Adrienne Clarkson.
The Queen had lost her mother and her sister in the preceding months of that year, and was officially in mourning, but the ceremonies were going ahead regardless.
Clarkson arrived with the other governors general and was guided to her room. Along the way, they were taken through a gallery featuring the royal collection of art — including works by great masters such as Rembrandt, Rubens and Titian. Once in her room, Clarkson decided she had a little time to kill before formal tea with the Queen, and she set out on her own to take a closer look at the paintings.
Entranced by the art on display, Clarkson kept walking down the castle’s cavernous corridors, not really bothering to take note of her route. “I didn’t take any thread with me, to mark my path. Suddenly, I thought: ‘How do I get back to our room?’” Realizing she was now completely lost in the castle, Clarkson decided to keep looking at the paintings, while watching for any possible exit.
All at once, to her left, came a pack of dogs — a dozen of the Queen’s corgis, and dachshund-corgi mixes. Clarkson recognized the dogs from her visit to Balmoral several years previously. She made a snap decision — if she followed the corgis, she would find her way out of the art-lined maze.
“I sort of rushed behind them, we turned a corner … and there is Her Majesty, standing in riding clothes, looking hale and hardy,” Clarkson said. “She had a riding crop in one hand and in her other hand, she had little treats that she was giving to the corgis.”
Unruffled by the surprise encounter, the Queen said a friendly hello and then a breezy: “See you at tea time.” The corgis swarmed behind her, and Clarkson was left to find her own way — successfully — back to her room.
That particular stay, however, had an abrupt end, when Clarkson learned that four Canadian soldiers had been killed in a “friendly fire” incident from U.S. forces in Afghanistan. With the help of the Queen’s royal aircraft, Clarkson was able to travel immediately to Germany, where some of the wounded soldiers had been transported. It meant that Clarkson missed a memorial service for Princess Margaret, but “it was important to me to be right there on the ground (in Germany),” Clarkson said.
Clarkson has nothing but fond memories of working for the Queen. “She’s always been an extremely acute and aware woman,” she said. “She has a great knowledge of the past and of Canadian prime ministers.”
It should be noted, Clarkson said, that the Queen never discusses politics — at least in her experience. “We only discussed personalities,” she said. “The Queen stays completely out of (politics and government.) … She never inquires and never says things like: ‘Gee, you have an awful lot of minority governments,’ or anything like that. She is totally appropriate.”
3. Joe Clark
During his brief time as prime minister, from mid-1979 to early 1980, Joe Clark didn’t have much of an opportunity to deal with the Queen directly. But the Royal Family made some lasting impressions on Clark and his wife, Maureen McTeer, through his long political career.
McTeer’s decision to keep her own name stirred up plenty of controversy in Canadian politics in the late 1970s. Some people registered their disapproval by calling her Mrs. Clark anyway.
Shortly after Clark became prime minister, the Queen Mother visited Halifax, and McTeer was put through the “Mrs. Clark” routine all through a formal lunch. “All the Liberal women at my table called me Mrs. Clark,” McTeer wrote in her book, titled In My Own Name.
The Queen Mother, ever astute, was the exception. After the lunch, McTeer escorted the Queen Mother to her limousine, and got some advice. “I always tell my grandchildren that they must be themselves and do what they believe best in life. Don’t be bothered by criticism.” And then, as parting words, the Queen Mother said: “Good Luck …. Ms. McTeer.”
A few years later, after Clark failed to get more than a bare 66 per cent approval from his party at a leadership review and stepped down as Progressive Conservative leader, he was present at Rideau Hall for the visit of Prince Charles and Diana. When Clark’s turn came to shake the royals’ hands in the receiving line, “Prince Charles’ first words to me were: ‘Why wasn’t two-thirds enough?’”
4. John Turner
Long before his brief stint as prime minister in 1984, John Turner had struck up his own friendship with the Royal Family — famously, with Princess Margaret.
The two met while the princess was on a tour of B.C. They danced all night at a fancy, formal ball, and British tabloids speculated about a budding romance between the handsome, young lawyer and the Queen’s sister. The romance never happened, but the friendship endured, and Turner visited Balmoral Castle a few times in subsequent years, shooting pheasants with Prince Philip and mixing drinks for the Queen Mother.
More than 20 years later, after Turner won the Liberal leadership and the prime minister’s job, he was faced with an awkward situation. He felt he had to call a general election, but that would require a postponement of a planned visit to Canada that summer by the Queen. Turner could have made the request by phone, but in deference to his long friendship with the family, he decided he should go in person. “It was a matter of courtesy,” Turner said.
So off Turner flew to Windsor Castle in early July, accompanied by his wife, Geills. The Queen was reportedly very understanding, and agreed to postpone her trip until the fall — when, as it happened, Turner would no longer be prime minister. During this visit, Turner and his wife dined with the Queen on the terrace of the castle. And during lunch, the Queen asked Turner’s views on the monarchy. “I’m with you 100 per cent,” Turner told the Queen.
In 2000, when the Queen Mother turned 100, Turner sent her a note, wishing her a happy birthday. Not long after, he received a formal reply — with a personal postscript from the Queen Mother. She said she remembered him fondly. “You make the best martinis,” the Queen Mother wrote.
5. Brian Mulroney
In his nine years in office, from 1984 to 1993, Brian Mulroney had an opportunity to forge a deep friendship with the Queen. He dined with her and other world leaders at Buckingham Palace in 1986, at the height of efforts to free Nelson Mandela from prison in South Africa.
And on many occasions, during the Queen’s trips to Canada, Mulroney would convene small, convivial dinners with Her Majesty at 24 Sussex Drive, often with just his family and perhaps a couple close friends as guests. The eldest Mulroney children, Ben, Caroline and Mark — Nicholas was then too young — were included as well.
“The kids loved her. She was terrific with them, too,” Mulroney said.
One memory stands out. It was Canada Day 1992, and the country was celebrating its 125th birthday. The Queen had a busy day of events, but had explicitly asked to clear some time in her schedule to relax with the Mulroneys at 24 Sussex.
They laid out a low-key lunch on the second floor of the residence, which has a spectacular view overlooking the Rideau River and Quebec on the far shore. The Queen, a modest glass of wine in hand, kicked off her shoes, put her feet up, and started to chat with Brian and Mila Mulroney about “free spirits” — people who throw off their societal obligations and go where their hearts take them.
“I thought it was fascinating, because she’s so constrained by protocol and all the stuff she has to do,” Mulroney said.
She spoke in particular about Susan Barrantes, mother of Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. (Ferguson was married at the time to the Queen’s son, Andrew.) In the 1970s, Barrantes shocked English high society by deserting her family and running off to Argentina to marry professional polo player Hector Barrantes. She earned the nickname “the bolter” for the decision and was largely ostracized by the upper class in Britain.
But the Queen, in conversation with the Mulroneys that afternoon, pronounced no judgment whatsoever. “She was almost wistful,” Mulroney said. She spoke of the need to understand such free spirits, to respect their life decisions. “It was almost as if she was saying: ‘Don’t make hard and fast value judgments on people just because they’re not like you.’ I was taken by this.”
Was this a hint of the Queen’s preoccupations with her own family at the time? Two of her children’s marriages were crumbling — Prince Charles and Diana, famously, as well as the marriage between Andrew and Sarah. If so, she betrayed no hint of it to Mulroney. “I don’t remember it being apropos of anything,” Mulroney said. “It wasn’t like I brought it up.”
Mulroney’s friendship with the Queen has endured. He’s seen her socially on occasions over the past few years. “She’s delightful. She’s known everybody since Adam. She’s shrewd and thoughtful and incisive,” Mulroney said.
6. Kim Campbell
Canada’s first female prime minister, Kim Campbell, didn’t stay in office long enough to have any direct dealings with the Queen.
But Campbell does have some strong views, informed by her years in government, about the importance of the Queen in this country.
Through the Queen and her representatives in Canada — governors general and lieutenant governors in the provinces and territories — Canadians have celebrated the diversity of the country. “It’s interesting that we had our first woman governor general (Jeanne Sauvé) before we had our first woman prime minister,” Campbell says. The royal representatives in Canada have also included aboriginal people, people of colour and more diversity than one often sees in the political class, she notes.
The Queen has also come to represent duty and a life of public service and charity, Campbell says, and these are what Canadians celebrate with the pomp and circumstance surrounding the royals.
Campbell says no prime minister can remain unaware of the links between the Crown and Parliament. The royal presence is felt when ministers and governments are sworn in at Rideau Hall and it is also ever-present when prime ministers consult with their governors general. The monarchy infuses the job with dignity and discretion, Campbell says.
“My audiences with (the late governor general) Ray Hnatyshyn were ones in which you knew you could discuss what you were doing and what you were thinking about things, with the absolute assurance that what you were saying would never go out of that room.”
7. Jean Chrétien
One prime minister can claim a very special relationship with the Queen — Jean Chrétien, who has the title to prove it. In 2009, Chrétien was made part of the Queen’s Order of Merit — an elite group with just 24 members, described as “individuals of exceptional distinction in the arts, learning, sciences and other areas such as public service.”
And this year, in deference to that relationship, Prime Minister Stephen Harper named Chrétien as Canada’s representative to the Diamond Jubilee Trust.
Some of Chretien’s stories about the Queen are legendary. There was the famous signing of the Constitution on Parliament Hill in 1982, for instance, when Chrétien was justice minister and the Queen was present for the ceremony. When it came time for Chrétien to put his signature on the document, he found that his prime minister, Pierre Trudeau, had broken the nib of the pen. “Merde,” Chrétien proclaimed, just before he realized he had sworn in front of Her Majesty. While he was red-faced, though, the Queen was laughing.
As well, in Chretien’s second biography, My Years as Prime Minister, he tells a couple more anecdotes about his long association with the Queen.
As prime minister, his first encounter with her was at Sandringham in January 1994, when he learned that the Queen and the Queen Mother loved to speak French. In Chretien’s mother tongue, they spoke of Her Majesty’s first trip to Canada in 1939, when she was a child, and long before her coronation.
Less than six months later, Chrétien lent his counsel to the Queen, advising her not to agree to a request to apologize to Maoris in New Zealand for their treatment under the colonial regime. Chrétien said it would set a precedent, which would find the Queen obliged to apologize to more than 600 First Nations bands in Canada as well. “You’ll be on your knees for quite a long time,” he told her. With some quiet diplomacy in the direction of his New Zealand counterpart, James Bolger, Chrétien managed to get the apology request withdrawn.
Chrétien and the Queen also shared some laughs in 1995 about a Montreal radio prank, which had inadvertently revealed the monarch’s affection for the Canadian prime minister. A comedian named Pierre Brassard, pretending to be Chrétien, had managed to get the Queen on the telephone and kept her on the line for 15 minutes, asking whether she would make a nationally televised speech in the midst of the Quebec referendum.
“I will probably be able to do something for you ... No problem, no, I can do that,” the Queen told the fake Chrétien. The conversation also included nonsensical rambles by Brassard about the Queen’s picture on Canadian Tire money and what she was wearing for Halloween.
In his biography, Chrétien recalls the Queen’s lack of amusement at Brassard’s prank. But she did reportedly tell Chrétien: “I didn’t think you sounded quite like yourself, but I thought, given all the duress you were under, you might have been drunk.”
8. Paul Martin
In 2005, Saskatchewan and Alberta were celebrating their 100th year as provinces in Canada. The prime minister was Paul Martin and the Queen arrived in May to lend her royal presence to the anniversary festivities in the West.
In Regina, a torrential rain was pouring down on May 17 when the Queen and Prince Philip pulled up at the Legislature. Undeterred by the downpour, the Queen went ahead with her remarks and then proceeded, according to plan, on her walkabout, accompanied by the prime minister.
Martin has a reputation for courtly good manners around women and in the midst of the deluge, guiding the Queen on the rain-slick surface of the Legislature grounds, he reached out and touched her on the back. Chivalrous perhaps, but it was also a big, diplomatic no-no. One does not place one’s hands on Her Majesty.
“Protocol gave me the heights of hell,” Martin said.
Later, the Queen sat down with Martin at the Hotel Saskatchewan and the two had a good laugh over his alleged protocol blunder. She didn’t mind at all, apparently, and they had a wide-ranging conversation that included talk of Martin’s parents. Paul Martin Sr. and his wife, Nell, got to know the Queen when the elder Martin served as Canada’s high commissioner to Great Britain in the 1970s. “They liked her very much,” Martin said. “So we talked about them, and we brought it all home.”

Strength and Weakness
Location, competition, business strategy, and management are just a few of the variables that might affect a Kingston, Canada-based auto detailing business's strengths and shortcomings. Consider the following probable benefits and weaknesses:
Strengths:
High Demand: The need for automobile detailing services is widespread, even in Kingston. People in the neighbourhood may respect their cars and look for expert detailing to keep them looking good.
Tourism: If Kingston is a popular vacation spot, there might be opportunities to serve travellers who want their cars cleaned before seeing the sights or leaving back home.
Recurring Business: In the automobile detailing business, recurring business and referrals can result from providing high-quality service and cultivating a committed clientele.
site: A strategically chosen site that is highly visible and easily accessible will draw in more clients.
Variety of Services: By providing a range of detailing services, from straightforward washes to more comprehensive packages (such as paint correction and interior detailing), one may better meet the demands of various clients and boost sales.
Partnerships: By collaborating with neighbourhood businesses like vehicle dealerships or auto repair shops, you can increase your consumer base through cross-promotion and recommendations.
Online Presence: Marketing and consumer attraction can benefit from having a strong online presence, which includes a website and active social media profiles.
Weaknesses:
Competition can be strong in Kingston depending on the amount of auto detailing shops there are. It could be difficult for newcomers to stand out.
Seasonality: Kingston's winter weather can be severe, which could have an impact on business. You could need to broaden your offerings or come up with strategies for luring clients in off-peak times.
Operating Costs: With the cost of labour, supplies, and equipment, running a detailing business may be expensive. Effective cost management is essential.
Staffing: Because this sector demands attention to detail and knowledge, it can be difficult to find and keep skilled workers. Service quality inconsistencies may result from high turnover.

Nov. 20, 2022
Canada announced sanctions on a slew of powerful politicians in Haiti over the weekend, part of a broad push to punish officials believed to have ties to the increasingly dominant gangs terrorizing the Caribbean nation.
Among those targeted by the measures was Michel Martelly, who was president from 2011 to 2016 and remains influential in Haiti, as well as two former prime ministers.
The Canadian government did not detail specific allegations against the three men but said in a news release that they were “using their status as current or previous public office holders to protect and enable the illegal activities of armed criminal gangs, including through money laundering and other acts of corruption.”
Haiti’s gang warfare has intensified since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse last year, as armed groups have grown bolder in their attacks on one another and on the population, overpowering the nation’s poorly equipped police force in much of the capital, Port-au-Prince.
Last month, the Haitian government made an extraordinary appeal for armed intervention from abroad to help stabilize the nation. The United Nations Security Council voted to impose sanctions on gangs and individuals who fund them, but diplomats have not decided whether to send a multinational force.
As gangs continue to torment the country, Canada and the United States have sought to lean more heavily on financial penalties to pressure current and former Haitian officials believed to be supporting the armed groups.
In a news conference in Tunisia on Sunday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada called the measures “very severe, very direct sanctions on those elites and those oligarchs who have for years, if not for decades, profited from the instability that Haitian people continue to suffer through.” The sanctions will cut access to most financial services in Canada and freeze the politicians’ assets in the country.
Canada has placed penalties on several Haitian officials, including Rony Célestin, a senator whose purchase of a $3.4 million villa in Montreal has raised accusations of corruption from Haitian activists.
But Mr. Martelly, the former president who handpicked Mr. Moïse as his successor and held substantial sway over his administration, is the most high-profile Haitian official to appear publicly on any sanctions list this year.
“The most significant thing is that this is a former president who received strong support from Canada and the international community while he was in office,” said Jake Johnston, a Haiti expert at the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington.
Mr. Johnston said that Mr. Martelly splits most of his time between Miami and the Dominican Republic, and that it was unclear whether the financial restrictions in Canada would affect him.
Tumblr media
Still, the announcement may send a signal about a broader shift in approach by some of the countries with the greatest influence over Haiti. On Sunday, Canada’s foreign minister called on other countries to follow suit with their own sanctions on those targeted by Mr. Trudeau’s government.
“It could be an indication that the international community is not going to go down the same path as it had in the past,” Mr. Johnston said. “The question is, is it just Canada, or are others coming?”
Mr. Moïse’s assassination remains unsolved, though several Haitian officials — including the commander in charge of guarding the president’s home — have been implicated.
Witnesses have accused that commander, Dimitri Hérard, of working with Mr. Martelly’s brother-in-law, Charles Saint-Remy, among others, to bring a shipment of over 1,000 kilograms of heroin and cocaine into the country in 2015, using official government cars and personnel.
Mr. Saint-Remy has long been suspected by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration of involvement in the drug trade.
A singer turned politician, Mr. Martelly remains a powerful but contentious figure in Haiti, where many blame his government for the misuse of funds tied to $2 billion that was lent to the country as part of a Venezuela-sponsored oil program.
Canada also imposed sanctioned this weekend on two former prime ministers: Laurent Lamothe, who served under Mr. Martelly, and Jean-Henry Céant, who served under Mr. Moïse. Mr. Lamothe was pushed out of office in 2014 amid a political crisis between his administration and opposition parties. Mr. Céant was fired in 2019, six months after he was appointed to form a unity government.
The measures follow sanctions announced by the United States and Canada earlier this month targeting two Haitian senators accused of being involved in drug trafficking.
Left to defend themselves, Haitians have been terrorized by criminal groups that regularly kidnap civilians for ransom and use sexual violence as a weapon to subjugate the population, according to reports from human rights groups.
Gangs now control most of the capital and have essentially cut off entire neighborhoods from access to the outside world as they vie for control.
The violence has crippled efforts to combat an intensifying cholera outbreak, with gangs making it extremely difficult for aid workers to deliver basic care in sprawling slums where hundreds of thousands live.
Canada’s foreign minister, Mélanie Joly, said on Sunday that the officials being sanctioned “are profiting from the violence that is being weaponized by gangs in Haiti.” The goal of the measures, she said, is to ensure that those “that are part of a corrupted system are facing accountability.”

Creeping Terror
It's not every day your shift ends with your boss asking you to take a really weird CSI ticket...
To summarize:
Client's this sweet English teacher in Outremont, West of Montreal
Just kindness distilled. You'd sell your soul to her, really
She tells me that an embattled Mazda dealership usually meets her needs, but that one Customer Service Rep has obvious issues
Poor girl left her lights on overnight, her battery went kaput, she had to call the dealership to have guys ship her a new battery
The one rep associated to her case blew up in her face, saying they knew she'd been abusive toward her car, somehow
She asked how and why, and the fucking bonkers idiot says they've put cameras in her car. He goes on a full-on Orwellian rant in front of her and five other customers.
The whole while, he's calling her names and bringing her to tears
I jot down the related details and call up my BF, who can pull up bills of service or other CSI requests
He calls me five minutes later and passes the dealership's Head of Sales
Dude sounds exasperated beyond belief - and familiar with this particular Service Rep's rigamarole.
I learn that some dealerships, including this one, sometimes work with the cops for gang and drug busts and can sometimes get commissioned to mount cameras in a car that's going to be used for a sting operation. The camera-obsessed Service Rep apparently Hasn't Been The Same since he's tasted of the power of court-order-sanctioned breaches in privacy
The fucko thinks "You've got cameras up the ass, fucker!" now works as a dissuasive practice against customers who'd want to file a complaint
He apparently genuinely thinks that some of the routine mechanic-related stuff he does now involves slipping spy cameras into customers' vehicles.
There's a long, loooong silence on my end.
"Tell me the guy's on meds. Please."
The dealership's Head of Sales sighs. "He's been at Philippe-Pinel a couple times. That was Joe's last offense, as far as I'm concerned. I'm firing him tomorrow morning."
For context, the Philippe-Pinel Institute is Canada's most widely-known specialized psych institute, a bonafide nuthouse that's almost as historical as Montreal's oldest buildings.
