OTTAWA.- Dominican Republic will create facilities to bolster commerce with, and investments from Canada, an effort the Caribbean nation expects to consolidate with the signing of a Free Trade Agreement, said the new Dominican ambassador in that nation, Jose del Carmen Ureña.

The diplomat presented his credentials on Tuesday before the Canadian Government in a ceremony headed by Governor-general, Michaélle Jean.

He told Jean that relations between Canada and Dominican Republic need to improve, and requested Canada’s support of education in his country through technical cooperation and aid to raise the professional level of teachers, and to develop specific educational programs.

I fail to see the relevance of the previous comments in regards to the story. The Dominican ambassador is asking for Canadian government aid to help train Dominican teachers in the technical fields which Canadians are world renowned for. What's that got to do with the Hell's Angels? Which by the way with the help of the RCMP and other international police helped round up and arrest just a short while ago. ?????

Showing anger and criticise... yes, lets us show the problems, but also lets stop being part of "only showing problems" and being part of solutions, "think of solutions". The best way is "synergy" into transforming each revolts we hold within, into positive thinking and actions. The province of Quebec which holds a chapter of Hell Angels" in the Dominicabn Republic since last year has arrested "all" who are part of "criminal gangs" with our newest laws that gives all power to "Sureté du Québec" to arrest and give up to 14 years jail sentence to anyone who are members of any recognised criminal gangs. Knowing is self power to address real solutions at the right places. Also, I wish to thank you to elevate, participate and show reactions into a global unity in which we are all part of. But, lets stop to only be reactions and lets start to be of actions. Positive actions, not the one driven by revolts which only shows problems, show the ones driven with love which are part of solutions.
