Dear Mr. Kent,
Recently. I have been learning about the situation in Honduras. It is not clear to me if President Zalaya was trying to extend his presidency or not. I suspect that people in power often want to extend their reign.
It is also unclear to me whether Mr. Micheletti has a good goal, though is pursuing it through evil means. I suspect that Micheletti should not be supported as no leader should call another names such as Mr. Micheletti called President Obama. Also, I see that Dr. Juan Almendares, who appears to be an upstanding person, and also ran against Pr. Zalaya in the last presidential elections supports Zalaya being accepted back into the country.
I also know that there are some Canadian companies in Honduras (mining and textiles) that might profit if Pr. Zalaya is kept out of the government. I urge to to put pressure on these companies not to support the coup and to stay out of political affairs for the time being. What is profit compared to living quality?
In light of all of this, I am unsure how to advise you. I do request that you research more into the situation, not trusting the words of Pr. Zalaya or Mr. Micheletti completely. It is my guess that it is within your power to find out where Canadian aid is going (to whom and for what) and I ask you to do this. If you are refused, then you must cease aid, understanding that the usage of the aid is being hidden for most likely evil means. I suggest this as your first step, as it will reveal the intentions of Micheletti and his care for the Honduran people.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I will be posting this on my b

To my embarrassment I misspelled Pr. Zelaya's name wrong continually throughout my post. My apologies.
