  BRUH. Disrupt the gangs back home and stop the flow of illegal firearms you dolts.
context: Giving Canada credit, this is not an insignificant action. The gangs are able to hide from normal western signals/intelligence because they are so poor they cannot afford cellphones and have no physical money. The planes are actually needed to figure out their operation. It's not like the gangs mind, they're not stupid enough to attack aircraft. Right now they have the oil terminal/port blockaded and are demanding recognition from the government or from the UN. Canada's mission is (likely) in regards to figuring out what is happening within/around the oil terminal so ships can continue docking safely.
  On paper it would be logical for a small Canadian/US paramilitary operation inside the oil terminal, enough to allow safe passage by approved trucks into it to load fuel and aid from western ships. The commandos would also effectively become the government - a government enforced exclusively through fuel trucks and mercenaries. However, the gangs have an alternative food/ammo supply from Mexico's cartels in exchange for slaves. Canada won't invade Mexico while a western-supported Mexican military operation would create an occupation worse than the colonial French government. >
  
  
  they're not stupid enough to attack aircraft
  
  So they are more intelligent than other gangs in other locations of the world where, you know, they shoot at aircraft? >
  
  Not aircraft from a foreign military, though. That's a good way to get invaded for real. >
  
  Canada won't invade Haiti, US won't let them. If those gangs read about the Monroe doctrine, they would know they can shoot Canadian planes with as much impunity as the American pilots have. >
  
  This won't achieve much I'm afraid. At this point the only thing that would work is a foreign military on the ground dismantling the gangs and then forcing everyone in Haiti (other than police) to surrender all their guns with extreme retaliation against anyone who refuses to. >
  
  Maybe the UN should evacuate all the good (?) folks and just leave the island to the gangs/thugs? It's such a mess there..I mean, how many times (and how much money) can the international community try and better the island? At some point people and country's wanting to help are just gonna say fuck it, we tried... >
  
  What if people don’t want to leave their country? We should focus on making it better, not evacuating it. >
  
  What do you think the world community has been doing the last several DECADES? 🤦 >
  
  Letting criminals rule the island is not a good way, that’s for sure. Plus the international community has not been so nice to Haiti, foreign interventions have often involved stealing their money. This could be different. Plus you think we should airlift millions of people and drain the country? Where will they go? >
  
  Don't know, never said I had the perfect solution to this problem. Just know that doing the same thing (throwing more money at the problem), but expecting different results, is literally the definition of insanity. >
  
  Well world leaders should think of something quick then. >
  
  That's just it, I'm not sure that the global community really even cares at this point. Oof... >
  
  Please disburse, criminals! Soarey >
  
  Imperial boomerang 
  
  The imperial boomerang or Foucault's boomerang is the thesis that governments that develop repressive techniques to control colonial territories will eventually deploy those same techniques domestically against their own citizens.
