CNN: Canada will send naval vessels to Haiti, but stops short of military intervention
Canada will deploy Royal Canadian Navy vessels off the coast of Haiti in the coming weeks, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday, amid widespread insecurity and gang violence in the country.

Yes, but it will make Prime Minister Justin Castro look like a resolute man of action.
Appearance over substance
Vacation? On a ship? Have you ever been on deployment?
