Bazile and three members of his group from the Maritimes are among more than 100 Canadians stuck in Haiti following violent protests that have claimed several lives over the past week. A team of 26 aid workers with a missionary group from Quebec are also among the scores of trapped Canadians. “Things can happen in this country,” Bougie said. More than 100 other Quebecers are stuck in a hotel, unable to make it to the Port-au-Prince airport because of the protests. Some tourists have told Quebec media that helicopter transport to the airport is available at a very high cost.
