US embassy cable - 05OTTAWA2659

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(C)  Canada's Department of Finance shares the USG's views on 
Zimbabwe in the IMF and, as things stand, plans to instruct 
its director to vote to expel Zimbabwe from the Board. 
Although the GOC feels that the partial payment has not made 
a material difference and that there has been enough 
forbearance, they note that Canadian officials do value their 
relationship with South African Finance Minister Trevor 
Manual, and further appeals from South Africa might weigh 
more heavily with Canada than they do with the US.
